Before Zhang Shou could say anything, Lu Sanlang hinted to Zhang Chen to take out the imperial ruler and beat Zhu Er so hard that he ran away. If this spoiler was left alone, everyone wondered if he would continue to be a dog with nothing to show for it. Lu Sanlang even followed him out, claiming that he was going to watch Zhang Chen give Zhu Er a good beating, and considerately left Banshan Hall to Zhang Shou, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu.
Zhang Shou was too lazy to argue with Zhu Er. He looked at Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu calmly and said, "That guy said something unpleasant, but your situation is indeed similar to mine. After all, Princess Deyang and Princess Xinyang are only your fiancées now, and you haven't officially married them yet."
Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu were both a little embarrassed. Then they heard Zhang Shou say, "Come on, let's go somewhere. Otherwise, when they come back, they will ask questions again. When there are too many people around, some things will be hard to say."
With Zhang Shou's words, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu naturally would not object. They both knew that although they were called marquis' children, the Huaiqing Marquis and Nanyang Marquis brothers had shallow roots, and they were illegitimate children. In fact, whether compared with Lu Sanlang or Zhang Chen and Zhu Er, they were far behind. At least, those three did not have to consider the issue of future expenses after marriage.
Even if it was Zhu Er... it was just that the Duke of Zhao's Mansion usually restricted his expenses and prevented him from spending money recklessly.
So, the two followed Zhang Shou out of the Imperial College in silence. When they saw Ah Liu driving over, they both dismissed the followers waiting there and followed Zhang Shou into the car. When they finally got off the car, they found that this was the place where everyone had flocked to before. It was said that it was the place where Zhu Tingfang, the son of the Duke of Zhao, took in an orphan named Xiao Cheng. Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
However, Zhang Shou did not enter the Xiao family. He stood at the door and heard Xiao Cheng reciting poems inside, and then urging Yang Hao and Zheng Dang in a serious manner. He could not help but smile, and then waved to Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu to follow him into the blacksmith shop next door.
When they passed the empty shop occupied by Guan Qiu who was writing furiously, crossed the yard, and finally came to the main room at the back, Zhang Shou suddenly stopped at the door and asked without turning his head, "Have you two ever seen a woman weaving?"
Even though their father was a soldier and even though they were often very tight on daily expenses, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu were after all sons of a marquisate, so how could they know this? So they looked at each other and were about to shake their heads when they realized that Zhang Shou couldn't see, so they could only say in unison, "I haven't seen it."
“That’s true… Actually, I mostly saw people raising silkworms and reeling silk, and then weaving the silk into silk. As for the hand-spinning loom for cotton, I’ve never seen it since we don’t grow cotton in the village.” Zhang Shou said to himself, if I hadn’t seen people weaving silk during the three years I lived in the village, I would at most have seen people symbolically weaving cloth by hand when visiting the folk village, and had seen the female textile workers weaving cloth in large state-owned textile factories on TV.
Therefore, he pushed the door open and went in. When he saw Zhao Si, who was sitting on the ground next to the spinning machine, looked up at him and quickly jumped up, he gestured to him not to be polite and immediately asked, "What's going on?"
