With his bare upper body and a thorny bramble on his back, Zhu Er, looking dejected, no longer looked like the cockerel that he had been last night. Instead, he looked like an obedient quail, with only his eyes still darting around. Seeing this, Zhang Shou felt that Zhu Ying's second brother was not as good as Lu Sanlang, and was even worse than Zhang Chen, who sometimes claimed to be a righteous young master.
Seeing Zhu Er raise his eyes and glance at him quickly, his eyes were dark, obviously he had been beaten, and guessing that it was Zhu Ying who did it, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile. When he smiled, Zhu Er immediately glared at him angrily, but when he saw Zhu Ying looking at him, he quickly smiled apologetically.
"Yingying, you asked me to come and apologize, and look, here I am. Look at this bramble, it still has thorns, but I am sincere..."
There were many dandies like Zhu Er in Cuiyun's room. Zhang Shou was not surprised by his behavior. He said nonchalantly, "Second Young Master shouldn't have come to me. He should have gone to the Madam and apologized sincerely first."
"I said he should go to grandma's first, but he insisted coming to you first." Zhu Ying paused here and looked at her second brother with some unfriendly eyes.
No wonder she felt something was wrong just now. You are such a good second brother. You even want to calculate the order of priority. Do you want grandmother to think that A Shou is arrogant and rude
Zhu Ying immediately snorted coldly, then grabbed Zhu Er and walked out: "A Shou, I'll take him to kowtow to grandma first, and come back later!"
Seeing Zhu Ying rushing out again like she did when she came, Zhang Shou noticed that Mother Li had a subtle look in her eyes, and after smiling and bowing, she hurriedly chased after her. He shrugged his shoulders, then turned his head to look at Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodai.
"I think you two didn't sleep well last night. Do you want to go out for a walk with me today, or stay here and catch up on your sleep?"
"Of course, get out!"
Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodai uttered five words almost in unison, and then looked at each other.
What a joke! If the young master went out and they stayed in the Duke of Zhao's mansion, who would be able to bear it if the lady called them over to question them? Anyway, it was just a sleepless night, at most they would feel sleepy, which was better than staying here and fidgeting!
Zhang Shou also hoped that Deng Xiaodai and Qi Liang would take him around the capital. As for Zhu Ying, the eldest lady was too conspicuous, and whether she was dressed as a woman or a man, she would be too conspicuous. However, before he could figure out how to persuade the grandparents to let the three of them go out for a walk, Mother Li came back with a forced smile on her face.
"Master Shou, Princess Yongping's Yuehua Tower Literary Gathering is today, and she sent you an invitation specially."
Zhang Shou had heard Zhu Ying mention the name of Princess Yongping once before. In the story told by the eldest lady, the princess who was born on the same day as her was a complete villain. She not only stepped on her lotus lantern, but also mocked her. As a result, the eldest lady angrily fought back and ended up in a bad situation. He was not very interested in these palace affairs and never asked Lu Sanlang and others about them.
But now, he received this inexplicable note on the second day after arriving in the capital. He was surprised and helpless, and said calmly: "I am a nobody, why would Princess Yongping send me a note? I promised the teacher yesterday that I would take Xiao Qi and Xiao Dai to his place to solve a few problems. For things like the literary meeting, I'll have to trouble Mother Li to decline it for me."
