Chapter 225: The soul of Bagua

Views:

"I have never really seen it. I have only heard from old people that something like this happened in Bei'an County more than ten years ago. The flood broke the dam and millions of people were displaced. That tragic situation, well, some people fled to Jiuli River at that time, and several of them were taken in as servants by our family. I also heard what they said." Hua Zhuo naturally couldn't tell the truth, but he remembered what he had heard in his previous life. The same thing happened in Bei'an County more than ten years ago, so he was talking nonsense, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty is also concerned about the suffering of the people, otherwise, how could I tell you this specifically? The situation in Huainan Mansion now is the same as that of that day. It’s similar in Beiping County. My father has been stuck in Huainan Prefecture since he was found out about the Heyin corruption case and refused to go to Beijing to report on his work. He vowed to rebuild the river embankment that was eaten by ants and insects and was rotten to the point of being reduced to a shelf. But he is the only one who can do it. , Without the support of the court and the funding from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how can it be completed before the flood season next year? Alas, it is really worrying, but don’t let the old scene reappear."

"Is there some trouble at Yan Kuang's place?" After a long time, Zhuang Zheng finally spoke. By this time, the blush on his face had faded and he returned to his calm posture.

Zhuang Jing was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward and said some kind words to her before she turned her anger into joy, and they chatted and laughed for a while.

Xiao Yulang's actual surname was Xiao Yulang, and he was the second son of Xiao Kun, the supervisor of Qin Tian Jian, who was in charge of astronomy, calendar, time and stars.

Alas, it is really worrying, but don’t let the old scene reappear."

As expected, Zhuang Jing diverted her attention and joked: "Why didn't you think about this when you came here? Are you afraid that Sun Daru will hit your second brother now?"

"have no idea."

"No."

"Is there some trouble at Yan Kuang's place?" After a long time, Zhuang Zheng finally spoke. By this time, the blush on his face had faded and he returned to his calm posture.

Cheng Ning quickly comforted her and said, "Don't be anxious. Who knew that the Xin'an River would definitely flood next year? The weather has been good these years, and such a natural disaster has not happened for a long time. Master Kuyue also said that it was the sage and sage who won the victory. God has favored us, so there are no worries inside and outside, and the people are safe and happy."

Zhuang Jing was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "Second brother is coming back too late. If I had known this, I would have said it was Sister Zhuo who came to visit. I'm afraid that second brother would have wanted to grow wings and fly back." One sentence joked between the two of them. .

"This is a good day and I will definitely come." Hua Zhuo also felt attracted to Cheng Ning and liked him very much, so he naturally agreed.

"Is there some trouble at Yan Kuang's place?" After a long time, Zhuang Zheng finally spoke. By this time, the blush on his face had faded and he returned to his calm posture.

Cheng Ning didn't know what she was thinking. He just listened to her words and couldn't help but chuckle and said: "What kind of love are you going to present? How difficult is it for your father to go to court to write a memorial and ask the court for funds."

"Is there some trouble at Yan Kuang's place?" After a long time, Zhuang Zheng finally spoke. By this time, the blush on his face had faded and he returned to his calm posture.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." She muttered in a low voice, ignored the two girls and went back to Xiuge.

Only then did Hua Zhuo know that Cheng Ning was two months younger than Zhuang Jing. He came today specifically to send an invitation to Zhuang Jing. Originally, Cheng Ning was not sure whether she was willing to go and wanted to let Zhuang Jing know something. She happened to be here. When I came across it, I mustered up the courage to give her the post together.

While Hua Zhuo was thinking about this issue, Zhuang Zheng was asking his senior brother, Sun Bingzhong, the son of the great scholar Sun Tong, seriously: "I heard that senior brother and Xiao Yulang have a close relationship. Can I introduce him to you?"

"Thank you for your comfort, sister. It's just that I'm not afraid of anything like this. If I hadn't been a girl, I would have confessed my love to your father in person." Hua Zhuo said while curling his lips secretly. Why did he listen to Master Kuyue's words? A bit like an irony? What does it mean to be free from worries both inside and outside, and for people to be safe and happy? There have been constant border troubles in the north since Taizu established the dynasty, and there have been rebellions by barbarians in the south. She had seen all of this in the "Travel to the Southwest". Let’s not mention these, let’s talk about the common people. Although there have been no major disasters in recent years, there have been droughts in spring and storms in autumn. Otherwise, why would there be trouble among the tenants in our village that year? It wasn't because of the spring drought that year.

"Then when the next snow falls, how about we go to Xishan?"

As expected, Zhuang Jing diverted her attention and joked: "Why didn't you think about this when you came here? Are you afraid that Sun Daru will hit your second brother now?"

Cheng Ning didn't know what she was thinking. He just listened to her words and couldn't help but chuckle and said: "What kind of love are you going to present? How difficult is it for your father to go to court to write a memorial and ask the court for funds."

Cheng Ning quickly comforted her and said, "Don't be anxious. Who knew that the Xin'an River would definitely flood next year? The weather has been good these years, and such a natural disaster has not happened for a long time. Master Kuyue also said that it was the sage and sage who won the victory.

God has favored us, so there are no worries inside and outside, and the people are safe and happy."

Sun Bingzhong opened his mouth and said after a while: "You are learning the piano, right?"

Zhuang Zheng let Sun Bingzhong look at him with a calm expression, as if he didn't know what he was thinking, and said calmly: "I heard that Second Young Master Yan's flute is one of the best in the capital. My younger brother is not talented, but he has also learned the music. I want to compete with Second Young Master Yan. Fan, please ask senior brother to fulfill your wish."

Her daughter's family didn't understand the affairs of the court, so it was easy for her to think about it. Although Hua Zhuo disagreed, he couldn't pour cold water on her, so he said casually: "That's true, but it requires your Majesty's approval."

"I know about this, you don't have to worry." Zhuang Zheng didn't wait for her to speak, but he still said to himself: "It was Jing'er who caused the trouble. If there is no reason for you to bear it, I won't let Yan Kuang I'm going to bother you." His tone was firm and reassuring, but Hua Zhuo looked at him carefully again and finally discovered that there seemed to be a trace of residual red at the base of his ears. Hey, why does it seem to be expanding

Zhuang Jing was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward and said some kind words to her before she turned her anger into joy, and they chatted and laughed for a while.

Zhuang Zheng nodded and agreed.

Zhuang Jing was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "Second brother is coming back too late. If I had known this, I would have said it was Sister Zhuo who came to visit. I'm afraid that second brother would have wanted to grow wings and fly back." One sentence joked between the two of them. .

"Hey, do you blame me for not inviting you to Xishan to visit Mei?"

"Then when the next snow falls, how about we go to Xishan?"

"Don't worry, I'll help you." Cheng Ning patted her chest.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise."

Her daughter's family didn't understand the affairs of the court, so it was easy for her to think about it. Although Hua Zhuo disagreed, he couldn't pour cold water on her, so he said casually: "That's true, but it requires your Majesty's approval."

Hua Zhuo looked at him in astonishment. He already knew it before she opened her mouth

Zhuang Zheng let Sun Bingzhong look at him with a calm expression, as if he didn't know what he was thinking, and said calmly: "I heard that Second Young Master Yan's flute is one of the best in the capital. My younger brother is not talented, but he has also learned the music. I want to compete with Second Young Master Yan. Fan, please ask senior brother to fulfill your wish."

Sun Bingzhong's gentle and elegant face changed his expression on the spot, and said: "Who knows that prodigal? He is a deviant, and he is ashamed to be with his brother."

Zhuang Jing was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "Second brother is coming back too late. If I had known this, I would have said it was Sister Zhuo who came to visit. I'm afraid that second brother would have wanted to grow wings and fly back." One sentence joked between the two of them. .

It wasn't because of the spring drought that year.

At this time Zhuang Jing came in and asked curiously: "What did you say?"

There were only two people left in the room. The brazier was burning vigorously, and the heat was blowing on his body. Hua Zhuo's face gradually turned red. He lowered his head to sip tea and glanced at it with his peripheral vision. He found that Zhuang Zheng's face was also a little red, but he didn't know that he was anxious outside. Those who rushed back were blushing from the cold, or they were blushing from Zhuang Jing's teasing, or they were blushing from the heat like her.

Cheng Ning quickly comforted her and said, "Don't be anxious. Who knew that the Xin'an River would definitely flood next year? The weather has been good these years, and such a natural disaster has not happened for a long time. Master Kuyue also said that it was the sage and sage who won the victory.

But he is the only one who can do it. , Without the support of the court and the funding from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how can it be completed before the flood season next year? Alas, it is really worrying, but don’t let the old scene reappear."

Sun Bingzhong was about to leave but was pulled back by him.

The gentle senior brother's eyes became more and more suspicious. The younger junior brother didn't learn how to play the flute. Maybe it was because Hai Shengbo was jealous and wanted to warn Yan Kuang to stay away from the eighth young lady of the Hua family. But nothing could be discerned from the expressionless face of my younger brother. Sun Bingzhong was a true gentleman. He could not directly ask questions. He could only suppress his curiosity. It took him a long time to say "I will arrange it".

Zhuang Jing was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "Second brother is coming back too late. If I had known this, I would have said it was Sister Zhuo who came to visit. I'm afraid that second brother would have wanted to grow wings and fly back." One sentence joked between the two of them. .

"It's nothing. I'm just chatting with Sister Cheng." Hua Zhuo answered first and then asked, "Will inviting your brother back like this miss his lesson?"

Only then did Hua Zhuo know that Cheng Ning was two months younger than Zhuang Jing. He came today specifically to send an invitation to Zhuang Jing. Originally, Cheng Ning was not sure whether she was willing to go and wanted to let Zhuang Jing know something. She happened to be here.

As expected, Zhuang Jing diverted her attention and joked: "Why didn't you think about this when you came here? Are you afraid that Sun Daru will hit your second brother now?"

Hua Zhuo was stunned, looking at his instantly flushed face, and the gesture of turning away his face that he didn't want her to see, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then Fu Zhi thought about something in his heart.

Zhuang Zheng first said hello to Hua Zhuo, and then said to Zhuang Jing with a slight reproach: "What are you doing? You are just cursing yourself for having a headache and a fever." Although he was blaming, his doting tone could not be concealed.

"What are you looking at?" Zhuang Zheng finally became angry from embarrassment, and his expression was no longer calm. The rouge mole on his forehead was bright red, and combined with the angry expression, he showed the attitude that a fifteen or six-year-old boy should have.

"I heard that senior brother and Yan Kuang also know each other?"

"I know about this, you don't have to worry." Zhuang Zheng didn't wait for her to speak, but he still said to himself: "It was Jing'er who caused the trouble. If there is no reason for you to bear it, I won't let Yan Kuang I'm going to bother you." His tone was firm and reassuring, but Hua Zhuo looked at him carefully again and finally discovered that there seemed to be a trace of residual red at the base of his ears. Hey, why does it seem to be expanding

Cheng Ning snickered again.

"I heard that senior brother and Yan Kuang also know each other?"

After coming out of Zhuang Shilang's house, Hua Zhuo was in a good mood and was smiling all the way. It wasn't until she returned to her old house by Taiye Pond that she found two girls winking behind her.

Zhuang Zheng glanced at her and said calmly: "If it hadn't been for this, you wouldn't have gone to the Minister's Mansion." You seemed a little resentful? Hua Zhuo blinked and wondered if he heard wrongly.

"Hey, do you blame me for not inviting you to Xishan to visit Mei?"

Only then did Hua Zhuo know that Cheng Ning was two months younger than Zhuang Jing. He came today specifically to send an invitation to Zhuang Jing. Originally, Cheng Ning was not sure whether she was willing to go and wanted to let Zhuang Jing know something. She happened to be here. When I came across it, I mustered up the courage to give her the post together.

"Don't worry, I'll help you." Cheng Ning patted her chest.

Hua Zhuo then pretended to be angry and said, "If you make fun of me again, I will leave immediately. From now on, I will not care about your affairs anymore."

Hua Zhuo then pretended to be angry and said, "If you make fun of me again, I will leave immediately. From now on, I will not care about your affairs anymore."

Zhuang Jing was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "Second brother is coming back too late. If I had known this, I would have said it was Sister Zhuo who came to visit. I'm afraid that second brother would have wanted to grow wings and fly back." One sentence joked between the two of them. .

Zhuang Jing was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward and said some kind words to her before she turned her anger into joy, and they chatted and laughed for a while.

Cheng Ning knew that Zhuang Zheng would be back soon and was embarrassed to stay any longer, so he said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he stuffed a post to Hua Zhuo and said: "The eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month is my birthday. Since it's a small birthday, I don't want to make it big. I just invite a few sisters who get along well with each other to get together and make it fun. If you can Come when you are free."

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." She muttered in a low voice, ignored the two girls and went back to Xiuge.

"What are you looking at?" Zhuang Zheng finally became angry from embarrassment, and his expression was no longer calm. The rouge mole on his forehead was bright red, and combined with the angry expression, he showed the attitude that a fifteen or six-year-old boy should have.

Hua Zhuo looked at him in astonishment. He already knew it before she opened her mouth

Sun Bingzhong just said that this junior brother admired Xiao Yulang's name and wanted to get acquainted with him, so he smiled and said: "That's right. You only study books all day long and never go out casually. You really don't look like a young man. You should have done it a long time ago." Go out for a walk and get to know more people. Xiao Yulang is only one year older than you. He and you are like jade carvings. He has a kind-hearted temperament and is the most kind-hearted person. He will definitely get along with you. Don't worry after class tomorrow. In a hurry to go home, I invite him to Jingzhong Restaurant, and you can just sit with me."

Cheng Ning knew that Zhuang Zheng would be back soon and was embarrassed to stay any longer, so he said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he stuffed a post to Hua Zhuo and said: "The eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month is my birthday. Since it's a small birthday, I don't want to make it big.

"have no idea."

In fact, Sun Bingzhong was the son of a great Confucian. He was deeply influenced by Confucianism and valued benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. He adhered to the style of Confucianism, acted according to the rules, and refused to make any mistakes. However, Yan Kuang was uninhibited by vulgar etiquette, speaking and doing wildly, and doing whatever he wanted. Sun Bingzhong It's strange to be able to get along with him. Unfortunately, the master who taught Sun Bingzhong's musical rhythm was the same person who taught Yan Kuang's musical rhythm, so they were still brothers in name.

"This is a good day and I will definitely come." Hua Zhuo also felt attracted to Cheng Ning and liked him very much, so he naturally agreed.

The gentle senior brother's eyes became more and more suspicious. The younger junior brother didn't learn how to play the flute. Maybe it was because Hai Shengbo was jealous and wanted to warn Yan Kuang to stay away from the eighth young lady of the Hua family. But nothing could be discerned from the expressionless face of my younger brother. Sun Bingzhong was a true gentleman. He could not directly ask questions. He could only suppress his curiosity.

Cheng Ning snickered again.

"have no idea."

"It's nothing. I'm just chatting with Sister Cheng." Hua Zhuo answered first and then asked, "Will inviting your brother back like this miss his lesson?"

Well, even a gentleman still has a burning soul of gossip.

Only then did Hua Zhuo know that Cheng Ning was two months younger than Zhuang Jing. He came today specifically to send an invitation to Zhuang Jing. Originally, Cheng Ning was not sure whether she was willing to go and wanted to let Zhuang Jing know something. She happened to be here. When I came across it, I mustered up the courage to give her the post together.

Not long after Cheng Ning left, Zhuang Zheng came back. They haven't seen each other for a few days. At first glance, Hua Zhuo had the illusion that the boy had grown up a little. But when he looked more closely, he was still so tall and had such a calm and steady expression. It seemed that he had not changed at all. .

Cheng Ning didn't know what she was thinking. He just listened to her words and couldn't help but chuckle and said: "What kind of love are you going to present? How difficult is it for your father to go to court to write a memorial and ask the court for funds."

Zhuang Zheng first said hello to Hua Zhuo, and then said to Zhuang Jing with a slight reproach: "What are you doing? You are just cursing yourself for having a headache and a fever." Although he was blaming, his doting tone could not be concealed.

Zhuang Zheng gave her a slap on the back of his head.

"Shimei is well."

Her daughter's family didn't understand the affairs of the court, so it was easy for her to think about it. Although Hua Zhuo disagreed, he couldn't pour cold water on her, so he said casually: "That's true, but it requires your Majesty's approval."

Cheng Ning quickly comforted her and said, "Don't be anxious. Who knew that the Xin'an River would definitely flood next year?

Sun Bingzhong just said that this junior brother admired Xiao Yulang's name and wanted to get acquainted with him, so he smiled and said: "That's right.

Zhuang Jing was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "Second brother is coming back too late. If I had known this, I would have said it was Sister Zhuo who came to visit. I'm afraid that second brother would have wanted to grow wings and fly back." One sentence joked between the two of them. .

"Shimei is well."

"No."

Zhuang Zheng let Sun Bingzhong look at him with a calm expression, as if he didn't know what he was thinking, and said calmly: "I heard that Second Young Master Yan's flute is one of the best in the capital. My younger brother is not talented, but he has also learned the music. I want to compete with Second Young Master Yan. Fan, please ask senior brother to fulfill your wish."

As expected, Zhuang Jing diverted her attention and joked: "Why didn't you think about this when you came here? Are you afraid that Sun Daru will hit your second brother now?"

"Shimei is well."

There were only two people left in the room. The brazier was burning vigorously, and the heat was blowing on his body. Hua Zhuo's face gradually turned red. He lowered his head to sip tea and glanced at it with his peripheral vision. He found that Zhuang Zheng's face was also a little red, but he didn't know that he was anxious outside. Those who rushed back were blushing from the cold, or they were blushing from Zhuang Jing's teasing, or they were blushing from the heat like her.

Don't worry after class tomorrow. In a hurry to go home, I invite him to Jingzhong Restaurant, and you can just sit with me."

Hua Zhuo glared at her, and Zhuang Zheng glared at her too. She winced and said, "I remembered, I left the veil outside. It was given to me by Sister Zhuo. I'm going to find it." Come back." After saying that, she ran away in a hurry, and by the way, she drove the people waiting outside far away and asked them to help her find a veil.

There were only two people left in the room. The brazier was burning vigorously, and the heat was blowing on his body. Hua Zhuo's face gradually turned red. He lowered his head to sip tea and glanced at it with his peripheral vision. He found that Zhuang Zheng's face was also a little red, but he didn't know that he was anxious outside.

God has favored us, so there are no worries inside and outside, and the people are safe and happy."

"Please introduce me to my senior brother." Zhuang Zheng still had a serious expression. He didn't care about Sun Bingzhong's denial at all. If he hadn't inquired about it in advance, he wouldn't have asked his senior brother for help.

Those who rushed back were blushing from the cold, or they were blushing from Zhuang Jing's teasing, or they were blushing from the heat like her.

"It's nothing. I'm just chatting with Sister Cheng." Hua Zhuo answered first and then asked, "Will inviting your brother back like this miss his lesson?"

"Actually, the snow has melted. There's no point looking for plum blossoms without snow, don't you think?"

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise."

"This is a good day and I will definitely come." Hua Zhuo also felt attracted to Cheng Ning and liked him very much, so he naturally agreed.

"Is there some trouble at Yan Kuang's place?" After a long time, Zhuang Zheng finally spoke. By this time, the blush on his face had faded and he returned to his calm posture.

As expected, Zhuang Jing diverted her attention and joked: "Why didn't you think about this when you came here? Are you afraid that Sun Daru will hit your second brother now?"

Sun Bingzhong opened his mouth and said after a while: "You are learning the piano, right?"

Not long after Cheng Ning left, Zhuang Zheng came back. They haven't seen each other for a few days. At first glance, Hua Zhuo had the illusion that the boy had grown up a little. But when he looked more closely, he was still so tall and had such a calm and steady expression. It seemed that he had not changed at all. .

Sun Bingzhong was about to leave but was pulled back by him.

Hua Zhuo looked at him in astonishment. He already knew it before she opened her mouth

Zhuang Zheng nodded and agreed.

Zhuang Zheng let Sun Bingzhong look at him with a calm expression, as if he didn't know what he was thinking, and said calmly: "I heard that Second Young Master Yan's flute is one of the best in the capital. My younger brother is not talented, but he has also learned the music. I want to compete with Second Young Master Yan. Fan, please ask senior brother to fulfill your wish."

As expected, Zhuang Jing diverted her attention and joked: "Why didn't you think about this when you came here? Are you afraid that Sun Daru will hit your second brother now?"

Zhuang Zheng glanced at her and said calmly: "If it hadn't been for this, you wouldn't have gone to the Minister's Mansion." You seemed a little resentful? Hua Zhuo blinked and wondered if he heard wrongly.

Zhuang Jing was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward and said some kind words to her before she turned her anger into joy, and they chatted and laughed for a while.

Hua Zhuo was stunned, looking at his instantly flushed face, and the gesture of turning away his face that he didn't want her to see, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then Fu Zhi thought about something in his heart.

"Don't worry, I'll help you." Cheng Ning patted her chest.

Cheng Ning didn't know what she was thinking. He just listened to her words and couldn't help but chuckle and said: "What kind of love are you going to present? How difficult is it for your father to go to court to write a memorial and ask the court for funds."

"Shimei is well."

"I know about this, you don't have to worry." Zhuang Zheng didn't wait for her to speak, but he still said to himself: "It was Jing'er who caused the trouble. If there is no reason for you to bear it, I won't let Yan Kuang I'm going to bother you." His tone was firm and reassuring, but Hua Zhuo looked at him carefully again and finally discovered that there seemed to be a trace of residual red at the base of his ears. Hey, why does it seem to be expanding

As expected, Zhuang Jing diverted her attention and joked: "Why didn't you think about this when you came here? Are you afraid that Sun Daru will hit your second brother now?"

While Hua Zhuo was thinking about this issue, Zhuang Zheng was asking his senior brother, Sun Bingzhong, the son of the great scholar Sun Tong, seriously: "I heard that senior brother and Xiao Yulang have a close relationship. Can I introduce him to you?"

At this time Zhuang Jing came in and asked curiously: "What did you say?"

"I have never really seen it. I have only heard from old people that something like this happened in Bei'an County more than ten years ago. The flood broke the dam and millions of people were displaced. That tragic situation, well, some people fled to Jiuli River at that time, and several of them were taken in as servants by our family. I also heard what they said." Hua Zhuo naturally couldn't tell the truth, but he remembered what he had heard in his previous life. The same thing happened in Bei'an County more than ten years ago, so he was talking nonsense, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty is also concerned about the suffering of the people, otherwise, how could I tell you this specifically? The situation in Huainan Mansion now is the same as that of that day. It’s similar in Beiping County. My father has been stuck in Huainan Prefecture since he was found out about the Heyin corruption case and refused to go to Beijing to report on his work. He vowed to rebuild the river embankment that was eaten by ants and insects and was rotten to the point of being reduced to a shelf. But he is the only one who can do it. , Without the support of the court and the funding from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how can it be completed before the flood season next year? Alas, it is really worrying, but don’t let the old scene reappear."

Cheng Ning didn't know what she was thinking. He just listened to her words and couldn't help but chuckle and said: "What kind of love are you going to present? How difficult is it for your father to go to court to write a memorial and ask the court for funds."

His tone was firm and reassuring, but Hua Zhuo looked at him carefully again and finally discovered that there seemed to be a trace of residual red at the base of his ears. Hey, why does it seem to be expanding

"What are you looking at?" Zhuang Zheng finally became angry from embarrassment, and his expression was no longer calm. The rouge mole on his forehead was bright red, and combined with the angry expression, he showed the attitude that a fifteen or six-year-old boy should have.

There were only two people left in the room. The brazier was burning vigorously, and the heat was blowing on his body. Hua Zhuo's face gradually turned red. He lowered his head to sip tea and glanced at it with his peripheral vision. He found that Zhuang Zheng's face was also a little red, but he didn't know that he was anxious outside. Those who rushed back were blushing from the cold, or they were blushing from Zhuang Jing's teasing, or they were blushing from the heat like her.

"Then when the next snow falls, how about we go to Xishan?"

Hua Zhuo was stunned, looking at his instantly flushed face, and the gesture of turning away his face that he didn't want her to see, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then Fu Zhi thought about something in his heart.

After coming out of Zhuang Shilang's house, Hua Zhuo was in a good mood and was smiling all the way. It wasn't until she returned to her old house by Taiye Pond that she found two girls winking behind her.

Zhuang Zheng nodded and agreed.

Hua Zhuo looked at him in astonishment. He already knew it before she opened her mouth

"Hey, do you blame me for not inviting you to Xishan to visit Mei?"

Zhuang Zheng nodded and agreed.

Hua Zhuo looked at him in astonishment. He already knew it before she opened her mouth

The gentle senior brother's eyes became more and more suspicious. The younger junior brother didn't learn how to play the flute. Maybe it was because Hai Shengbo was jealous and wanted to warn Yan Kuang to stay away from the eighth young lady of the Hua family. But nothing could be discerned from the expressionless face of my younger brother. Sun Bingzhong was a true gentleman. He could not directly ask questions. He could only suppress his curiosity. It took him a long time to say "I will arrange it".

"No."

As expected, Zhuang Jing diverted her attention and joked: "Why didn't you think about this when you came here? Are you afraid that Sun Daru will hit your second brother now?"

Sun Bingzhong opened his mouth and said after a while: "You are learning the piano, right?"

Zhuang Jing was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "Second brother is coming back too late. If I had known this, I would have said it was Sister Zhuo who came to visit. I'm afraid that second brother would have wanted to grow wings and fly back." One sentence joked between the two of them. .

Well, even a gentleman still has a burning soul of gossip.

"Actually, the snow has melted. There's no point looking for plum blossoms without snow, don't you think?"

"Don't worry, I'll help you." Cheng Ning patted her chest.

In fact, Sun Bingzhong was the son of a great Confucian. He was deeply influenced by Confucianism and valued benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. He adhered to the style of Confucianism, acted according to the rules, and refused to make any mistakes. However, Yan Kuang was uninhibited by vulgar etiquette, speaking and doing wildly, and doing whatever he wanted. Sun Bingzhong It's strange to be able to get along with him. Unfortunately, the master who taught Sun Bingzhong's musical rhythm was the same person who taught Yan Kuang's musical rhythm, so they were still brothers in name.

"have no idea."

"I have never really seen it. I have only heard from old people that something like this happened in Bei'an County more than ten years ago. The flood broke the dam and millions of people were displaced. That tragic situation, well, some people fled to Jiuli River at that time, and several of them were taken in as servants by our family.

"have no idea."

I don’t know when the second snow in Beijing will come.

"have no idea."

"No."

Zhuang Zheng first said hello to Hua Zhuo, and then said to Zhuang Jing with a slight reproach: "What are you doing? You are just cursing yourself for having a headache and a fever." Although he was blaming, his doting tone could not be concealed.

"What did you see him for? Don't you imitate him? I will never, uh..." Sun Bingzhong was about to refuse, but suddenly he remembered that the recent rumors outside seemed to have something to do with his junior brother. He quickly stopped talking and stared at Zhuang Zheng suspiciously for a long time.

Zhuang Zheng gave her a slap on the back of his head.

Only then did Hua Zhuo know that Cheng Ning was two months younger than Zhuang Jing. He came today specifically to send an invitation to Zhuang Jing. Originally, Cheng Ning was not sure whether she was willing to go and wanted to let Zhuang Jing know something. She happened to be here. When I came across it, I mustered up the courage to give her the post together.

"This is a good day and I will definitely come." Hua Zhuo also felt attracted to Cheng Ning and liked him very much, so he naturally agreed.

"This is a good day and I will definitely come." Hua Zhuo also felt attracted to Cheng Ning and liked him very much, so he naturally agreed.

Cheng Ning knew that Zhuang Zheng would be back soon and was embarrassed to stay any longer, so he said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he stuffed a post to Hua Zhuo and said: "The eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month is my birthday. Since it's a small birthday, I don't want to make it big. I just invite a few sisters who get along well with each other to get together and make it fun. If you can Come when you are free."

"I heard that senior brother and Yan Kuang also know each other?"

Cheng Ning didn't know what she was thinking. He just listened to her words and couldn't help but chuckle and said: "What kind of love are you going to present? How difficult is it for your father to go to court to write a memorial and ask the court for funds."

After coming out of Zhuang Shilang's house, Hua Zhuo was in a good mood and was smiling all the way. It wasn't until she returned to her old house by Taiye Pond that she found two girls winking behind her.

"Thank you for your comfort, sister. It's just that I'm not afraid of anything like this. If I hadn't been a girl, I would have confessed my love to your father in person." Hua Zhuo said while curling his lips secretly. Why did he listen to Master Kuyue's words? A bit like an irony? What does it mean to be free from worries both inside and outside, and for people to be safe and happy? There have been constant border troubles in the north since Taizu established the dynasty, and there have been rebellions by barbarians in the south. She had seen all of this in the "Travel to the Southwest". Let’s not mention these, let’s talk about the common people. Although there have been no major disasters in recent years, there have been droughts in spring and storms in autumn. Otherwise, why would there be trouble among the tenants in our village that year? It wasn't because of the spring drought that year.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise."

The gentle senior brother's eyes became more and more suspicious. The younger junior brother didn't learn how to play the flute. Maybe it was because Hai Shengbo was jealous and wanted to warn Yan Kuang to stay away from the eighth young lady of the Hua family. But nothing could be discerned from the expressionless face of my younger brother. Sun Bingzhong was a true gentleman. He could not directly ask questions. He could only suppress his curiosity.

Originally, Cheng Ning was not sure whether she was willing to go and wanted to let Zhuang Jing know something. She happened to be here. When I came across it, I mustered up the courage to give her the post together.

Sun Bingzhong just said that this junior brother admired Xiao Yulang's name and wanted to get acquainted with him, so he smiled and said: "That's right. You only study books all day long and never go out casually. You really don't look like a young man. You should have done it a long time ago." Go out for a walk and get to know more people. Xiao Yulang is only one year older than you. He and you are like jade carvings. He has a kind-hearted temperament and is the most kind-hearted person. He will definitely get along with you. Don't worry after class tomorrow. In a hurry to go home, I invite him to Jingzhong Restaurant, and you can just sit with me."

"Then when the next snow falls, how about we go to Xishan?"

"Is there some trouble at Yan Kuang's place?" After a long time, Zhuang Zheng finally spoke. By this time, the blush on his face had faded and he returned to his calm posture.

Sun Bingzhong was about to leave but was pulled back by him.

I don’t know when the second snow in Beijing will come.

Zhuang Jing was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward and said some kind words to her before she turned her anger into joy, and they chatted and laughed for a while.

"Then when the next snow falls, how about we go to Xishan?"

Sun Bingzhong's gentle and elegant face changed his expression on the spot, and said: "Who knows that prodigal? He is a deviant, and he is ashamed to be with his brother."

"I know about this, you don't have to worry." Zhuang Zheng didn't wait for her to speak, but he still said to himself: "It was Jing'er who caused the trouble. If there is no reason for you to bear it, I won't let Yan Kuang I'm going to bother you."

"This is a good day and I will definitely come." Hua Zhuo also felt attracted to Cheng Ning and liked him very much, so he naturally agreed.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." She muttered in a low voice, ignored the two girls and went back to Xiuge.

Zhuang Jing was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward and said some kind words to her before she turned her anger into joy, and they chatted and laughed for a while.

"Actually, the snow has melted. There's no point looking for plum blossoms without snow, don't you think?"

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise."

Zhuang Zheng nodded and agreed.

Zhuang Zheng glanced at her and said calmly: "If it hadn't been for this, you wouldn't have gone to the Minister's Mansion." You seemed a little resentful? Hua Zhuo blinked and wondered if he heard wrongly.

Cheng Ning quickly comforted her and said, "Don't be anxious. Who knew that the Xin'an River would definitely flood next year? The weather has been good these years, and such a natural disaster has not happened for a long time. Master Kuyue also said that it was the sage and sage who won the victory. God has favored us, so there are no worries inside and outside, and the people are safe and happy."

Hua Zhuo glared at her, and Zhuang Zheng glared at her too. She winced and said, "I remembered, I left the veil outside. It was given to me by Sister Zhuo. I'm going to find it." Come back." After saying that, she ran away in a hurry, and by the way, she drove the people waiting outside far away and asked them to help her find a veil.

In fact, Sun Bingzhong was the son of a great Confucian. He was deeply influenced by Confucianism and valued benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. He adhered to the style of Confucianism, acted according to the rules, and refused to make any mistakes. However, Yan Kuang was uninhibited by vulgar etiquette, speaking and doing wildly, and doing whatever he wanted. Sun Bingzhong It's strange to be able to get along with him.

I just invite a few sisters who get along well with each other to get together and make it fun. If you can Come when you are free."

Her daughter's family didn't understand the affairs of the court, so it was easy for her to think about it. Although Hua Zhuo disagreed, he couldn't pour cold water on her, so he said casually: "That's true, but it requires your Majesty's approval."

Xiao Yulang's actual surname was Xiao Yulang, and he was the second son of Xiao Kun, the supervisor of Qin Tian Jian, who was in charge of astronomy, calendar, time and stars.

Cheng Ning quickly comforted her and said, "Don't be anxious. Who knew that the Xin'an River would definitely flood next year? The weather has been good these years, and such a natural disaster has not happened for a long time. Master Kuyue also said that it was the sage and sage who won the victory. God has favored us, so there are no worries inside and outside, and the people are safe and happy."

"Please introduce me to my senior brother." Zhuang Zheng still had a serious expression. He didn't care about Sun Bingzhong's denial at all. If he hadn't inquired about it in advance, he wouldn't have asked his senior brother for help.

Sun Bingzhong just said that this junior brother admired Xiao Yulang's name and wanted to get acquainted with him, so he smiled and said: "That's right. You only study books all day long and never go out casually. You really don't look like a young man. You should have done it a long time ago." Go out for a walk and get to know more people.

After coming out of Zhuang Shilang's house, Hua Zhuo was in a good mood and was smiling all the way. It wasn't until she returned to her old house by Taiye Pond that she found two girls winking behind her.

Sun Bingzhong's gentle and elegant face changed his expression on the spot, and said: "Who knows that prodigal? He is a deviant, and he is ashamed to be with his brother."

"Then when the next snow falls, how about we go to Xishan?"

"This is a good day and I will definitely come." Hua Zhuo also felt attracted to Cheng Ning and liked him very much, so he naturally agreed.

"Hey, do you blame me for not inviting you to Xishan to visit Mei?"

Zhuang Jing was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "Second brother is coming back too late. If I had known this, I would have said it was Sister Zhuo who came to visit. I'm afraid that second brother would have wanted to grow wings and fly back." One sentence joked between the two of them. .

"I know about this, you don't have to worry." Zhuang Zheng didn't wait for her to speak, but he still said to himself: "It was Jing'er who caused the trouble. If there is no reason for you to bear it, I won't let Yan Kuang I'm going to bother you." His tone was firm and reassuring, but Hua Zhuo looked at him carefully again and finally discovered that there seemed to be a trace of residual red at the base of his ears. Hey, why does it seem to be expanding

Sun Bingzhong opened his mouth and said after a while: "You are learning the piano, right?"

Only then did Hua Zhuo know that Cheng Ning was two months younger than Zhuang Jing. He came today specifically to send an invitation to Zhuang Jing. Originally, Cheng Ning was not sure whether she was willing to go and wanted to let Zhuang Jing know something. She happened to be here. When I came across it, I mustered up the courage to give her the post together.

In fact, Sun Bingzhong was the son of a great Confucian. He was deeply influenced by Confucianism and valued benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. He adhered to the style of Confucianism, acted according to the rules, and refused to make any mistakes. However, Yan Kuang was uninhibited by vulgar etiquette, speaking and doing wildly, and doing whatever he wanted. Sun Bingzhong It's strange to be able to get along with him. Unfortunately, the master who taught Sun Bingzhong's musical rhythm was the same person who taught Yan Kuang's musical rhythm, so they were still brothers in name.

Cheng Ning knew that Zhuang Zheng would be back soon and was embarrassed to stay any longer, so he said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he stuffed a post to Hua Zhuo and said: "The eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month is my birthday. Since it's a small birthday, I don't want to make it big. I just invite a few sisters who get along well with each other to get together and make it fun. If you can Come when you are free."

"Thank you for your comfort, sister. It's just that I'm not afraid of anything like this. If I hadn't been a girl, I would have confessed my love to your father in person." Hua Zhuo said while curling his lips secretly. Why did he listen to Master Kuyue's words? A bit like an irony? What does it mean to be free from worries both inside and outside, and for people to be safe and happy? There have been constant border troubles in the north since Taizu established the dynasty, and there have been rebellions by barbarians in the south. She had seen all of this in the "Travel to the Southwest". Let’s not mention these, let’s talk about the common people. Although there have been no major disasters in recent years, there have been droughts in spring and storms in autumn. Otherwise, why would there be trouble among the tenants in our village that year? It wasn't because of the spring drought that year.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise."

Cheng Ning snickered again.

"Please introduce me to my senior brother." Zhuang Zheng still had a serious expression. He didn't care about Sun Bingzhong's denial at all. If he hadn't inquired about it in advance, he wouldn't have asked his senior brother for help.

Only then did Hua Zhuo know that Cheng Ning was two months younger than Zhuang Jing. He came today specifically to send an invitation to Zhuang Jing. Originally, Cheng Ning was not sure whether she was willing to go and wanted to let Zhuang Jing know something. She happened to be here. When I came across it, I mustered up the courage to give her the post together.

"Shimei is well."

"Don't worry, I'll help you." Cheng Ning patted her chest.

"This is a good day and I will definitely come." Hua Zhuo also felt attracted to Cheng Ning and liked him very much, so he naturally agreed.

"No."

"What did you see him for? Don't you imitate him? I will never, uh..." Sun Bingzhong was about to refuse, but suddenly he remembered that the recent rumors outside seemed to have something to do with his junior brother. He quickly stopped talking and stared at Zhuang Zheng suspiciously for a long time.

Zhuang Jing was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "Second brother is coming back too late. If I had known this, I would have said it was Sister Zhuo who came to visit. I'm afraid that second brother would have wanted to grow wings and fly back." One sentence joked between the two of them. .

Hua Zhuo glared at her, and Zhuang Zheng glared at her too. She winced and said, "I remembered, I left the veil outside. It was given to me by Sister Zhuo. I'm going to find it." Come back." After saying that, she ran away in a hurry, and by the way, she drove the people waiting outside far away and asked them to help her find a veil.

Zhuang Zheng let Sun Bingzhong look at him with a calm expression, as if he didn't know what he was thinking, and said calmly: "I heard that Second Young Master Yan's flute is one of the best in the capital. My younger brother is not talented, but he has also learned the music. I want to compete with Second Young Master Yan. Fan, please ask senior brother to fulfill your wish."

Cheng Ning quickly comforted her and said, "Don't be anxious. Who knew that the Xin'an River would definitely flood next year? The weather has been good these years, and such a natural disaster has not happened for a long time. Master Kuyue also said that it was the sage and sage who won the victory. God has favored us, so there are no worries inside and outside, and the people are safe and happy."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise."

Cheng Ning didn't know what she was thinking. He just listened to her words and couldn't help but chuckle and said: "What kind of love are you going to present? How difficult is it for your father to go to court to write a memorial and ask the court for funds."

"What did you see him for? Don't you imitate him? I will never, uh..." Sun Bingzhong was about to refuse, but suddenly he remembered that the recent rumors outside seemed to have something to do with his junior brother. He quickly stopped talking and stared at Zhuang Zheng suspiciously for a long time.

Hua Zhuo then pretended to be angry and said, "If you make fun of me again, I will leave immediately. From now on, I will not care about your affairs anymore."

Not long after Cheng Ning left, Zhuang Zheng came back. They haven't seen each other for a few days. At first glance, Hua Zhuo had the illusion that the boy had grown up a little. But when he looked more closely, he was still so tall and had such a calm and steady expression. It seemed that he had not changed at all. .

"I know about this, you don't have to worry." Zhuang Zheng didn't wait for her to speak, but he still said to himself: "It was Jing'er who caused the trouble. If there is no reason for you to bear it, I won't let Yan Kuang I'm going to bother you." His tone was firm and reassuring, but Hua Zhuo looked at him carefully again and finally discovered that there seemed to be a trace of residual red at the base of his ears. Hey, why does it seem to be expanding

Sun Bingzhong opened his mouth and said after a while: "You are learning the piano, right?"

Zhuang Zheng nodded and agreed.

Hua Zhuo was stunned, looking at his instantly flushed face, and the gesture of turning away his face that he didn't want her to see, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then Fu Zhi thought about something in his heart.

The gentle senior brother's eyes became more and more suspicious. The younger junior brother didn't learn how to play the flute. Maybe it was because Hai Shengbo was jealous and wanted to warn Yan Kuang to stay away from the eighth young lady of the Hua family. But nothing could be discerned from the expressionless face of my younger brother. Sun Bingzhong was a true gentleman. He could not directly ask questions. He could only suppress his curiosity. It took him a long time to say "I will arrange it".

It took him a long time to say "I will arrange it".

Sun Bingzhong just said that this junior brother admired Xiao Yulang's name and wanted to get acquainted with him, so he smiled and said: "That's right. You only study books all day long and never go out casually. You really don't look like a young man. You should have done it a long time ago." Go out for a walk and get to know more people. Xiao Yulang is only one year older than you. He and you are like jade carvings. He has a kind-hearted temperament and is the most kind-hearted person. He will definitely get along with you. Don't worry after class tomorrow. In a hurry to go home, I invite him to Jingzhong Restaurant, and you can just sit with me."

Hua Zhuo then pretended to be angry and said, "If you make fun of me again, I will leave immediately. From now on, I will not care about your affairs anymore."

"What are you looking at?" Zhuang Zheng finally became angry from embarrassment, and his expression was no longer calm. The rouge mole on his forehead was bright red, and combined with the angry expression, he showed the attitude that a fifteen or six-year-old boy should have.

Hua Zhuo glared at her, and Zhuang Zheng glared at her too. She winced and said, "I remembered, I left the veil outside. It was given to me by Sister Zhuo. I'm going to find it." Come back." After saying that, she ran away in a hurry, and by the way, she drove the people waiting outside far away and asked them to help her find a veil.

"I have never really seen it. I have only heard from old people that something like this happened in Bei'an County more than ten years ago. The flood broke the dam and millions of people were displaced. That tragic situation, well, some people fled to Jiuli River at that time, and several of them were taken in as servants by our family. I also heard what they said." Hua Zhuo naturally couldn't tell the truth, but he remembered what he had heard in his previous life. The same thing happened in Bei'an County more than ten years ago, so he was talking nonsense, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty is also concerned about the suffering of the people, otherwise, how could I tell you this specifically? The situation in Huainan Mansion now is the same as that of that day. It’s similar in Beiping County. My father has been stuck in Huainan Prefecture since he was found out about the Heyin corruption case and refused to go to Beijing to report on his work. He vowed to rebuild the river embankment that was eaten by ants and insects and was rotten to the point of being reduced to a shelf. But he is the only one who can do it. , Without the support of the court and the funding from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how can it be completed before the flood season next year? Alas, it is really worrying, but don’t let the old scene reappear."

While Hua Zhuo was thinking about this issue, Zhuang Zheng was asking his senior brother, Sun Bingzhong, the son of the great scholar Sun Tong, seriously: "I heard that senior brother and Xiao Yulang have a close relationship. Can I introduce him to you?"

Well, even a gentleman still has a burning soul of gossip.

The gentle senior brother's eyes became more and more suspicious. The younger junior brother didn't learn how to play the flute. Maybe it was because Hai Shengbo was jealous and wanted to warn Yan Kuang to stay away from the eighth young lady of the Hua family. But nothing could be discerned from the expressionless face of my younger brother. Sun Bingzhong was a true gentleman. He could not directly ask questions. He could only suppress his curiosity. It took him a long time to say "I will arrange it".

As expected, Zhuang Jing diverted her attention and joked: "Why didn't you think about this when you came here? Are you afraid that Sun Daru will hit your second brother now?"

"Then when the next snow falls, how about we go to Xishan?"

Hua Zhuo was stunned, looking at his instantly flushed face, and the gesture of turning away his face that he didn't want her to see, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then Fu Zhi thought about something in his heart.

Zhuang Zheng glanced at her and said calmly: "If it hadn't been for this, you wouldn't have gone to the Minister's Mansion." You seemed a little resentful? Hua Zhuo blinked and wondered if he heard wrongly.

"have no idea."

Zhuang Jing was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward and said some kind words to her before she turned her anger into joy, and they chatted and laughed for a while.
