The disgraceful appearance of Zhao Kuo who "vomited his food three times a meal" in order to meet Bai Feng was very eye-catching. When people saw this, they all talked about his faults.
Before most people witnessed the heroic temperament of the eldest son of the Zhao family, they had heard about what Zhao Kuo had done from others, and did not have a very intuitive understanding of him. The first time I saw him now was to see him abandon all the long-awaited guests without hesitation, then take an unknown woman with him, and drive away eagerly and expectantly.
To offend everyone in this way will inevitably arouse people's suspicion. If the eldest son of the Zhao family has no intention of taking care of secular business, then for these distinguished guests, how they tried their best to negotiate a good deal and maintain a good relationship with the Zhao family will all be lost in an instant after the death of the Zhao Wei family master. Time turned into nothing.
Even Ajuan, who was accompanying Zhao Kuo, thought so, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhao Kuo's actions during this trip, and she was even secretly gratified by Zhao Kuo's actions of emphasizing love and justice.
In the eyes of Du Juan, a young girl who is open-minded and never bothers to hide her emotions, Zhao Kuo really just couldn't control his thoughts because he missed his old love. That unexpected self.
"Sure enough, he has always had us in his heart!" Ajuan and Zhao Kuo were sitting on opposite sides of the carriage, looking at each other. However, seeing that she couldn't hide her smile and her brows were filled with joy, she had no memory of coming to tell Zhao Kuo. I intend to transform the old Taoist temple into a school and academy.
As for whether Zhao Kuo is really so pure in his heart? There is no way for others to know immediately, but sometimes you just need to let nature take its course, and things will soon become clear.
After a while, the carriage stopped at the west gate of Yuyi Town. Zhao Kuo and Ajuan got off the carriage and immediately looked into the distance. On the road with mottled grass, there was a large carriage that seemed to be carrying goods approaching. The heavy car pressed against the ground, leaving two deep ruts.
The two people standing under the city gate did not recognize that the carriage driver was Su Qing at first, until the carriage slowly stopped beside them. The driver, who was covered in dust and dressed in messy and shabby clothes, stepped down and took the initiative. He bowed to Zhao Kuo diligently and said:
"Long time no see, Mr. Zhao, and the beautiful and lovely 'Mrs. Cuckoo'."
When Ajuan heard such a glib tone, he immediately remembered the other person's name and replied: "It's you, Su Qing!"
"Brother Su?" Zhao Kuo raised his hand and replied: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to become so depressed. These days must not be easy, right?"
Su Qing replied: "Mr. Zhao, actually this is my original appearance! We street villains don't look like the prince even if we are wearing dragon robes."
"Hahaha...Brother Su is too modest." Zhao Kuo responded to the other party's self-mockery and laughed loudly.
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Ajuan couldn't help but want to pour cold water on her, complaining: "Su Qing, when did the slave family become the 'Mrs. Cuckoo' in your mouth? Don't flatter me in front of me. What have you done to the slave family?" The slave family has always remembered the matter!"
Before he finished speaking, the people sitting in the carriage that came from afar seemed to recognize this coquettish roar. Without waiting for Su Qing to ask for instructions, they all walked down privately. Bai Feng, Murong Yan, and Zichai finally appeared. As a foreigner, no one is smiling.
"Miss Murong, Mr. Bai!" Ajuan's resentment dissipated instantly when she saw her old friend. Then she walked up to Murong Yan and exchanged greetings. It was so uncomfortable that no matter how much coldness she felt, she was warmed by the opponent's palms.
The same is true for the young swordsman. Bai Feng, wearing a black robe, stood proudly in the cold wind. He and Zhao Kuo looked at each other for a moment. Both of them were overjoyed. They grabbed each other's hands and patted them gently.
"Brother Bai, you are finally back!" Zhao Kuo said: "Do you know what good things you have done? I still have many things I want to ask clearly... Tong Yao from Woye Town is now asking for money to withdraw his troops, but he needs to strengthen his troops. , so that we can better assist the Heba clan in fighting in the future?"
Seeing people coming and going at the city gate, Bai Feng couldn't tell the whole story, so she softly replied: "Brother Zhao, General Tong will no longer help the arrogant and domineering Heba family. You don't have to worry."
Zhao Kuo thought for a while and took a big breath. He seemed to have understood what the other party said, and then ordered his servants: "First send these ladies back to the house for resettlement. I guess I will know that you are back." More happy than me. Huh? This girl is..."
As he spoke, Zhao Kuo noticed Zichai hiding in obscurity.
"I...my name is Zichai." Zichai looked up at the eight-foot-tall man in front of him, feeling inexplicably timid in his heart.
Seeing that his sister was so shy, Su Qing hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Back to Mr. Zhao, this sister Zichai is my wife's dowry maid. Now that my wife is away, I will take care of her on my behalf."
Zhao Kuo continued to ask: "Mrs. Xiang, has something happened?"
"Uh..." Su Qing smiled and said nothing, feeling deep down that this was a family scandal and should not be made public.
Murong Yan, however, replied nonchalantly on her behalf: "It was Mr. Su who made Mrs. Xiang angry. What's wrong with that?"
After hearing this, Su Qing suddenly became serious, and could not squeeze out a smile after that.
"Come to think of it, everything happened for a reason... Why don't Brother Su and Brother Bai walk around Yuyi Town with me, so that everyone can get to know you."
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he immediately invited several girls to the carriage he was riding in, and was about to send a servant to take them to their place.
At this moment, Ajuan just remembered that she still had a big plan in her heart that she had not told Zhao Kuo. She immediately opened the curtain and asked the other party: "Zhao Kuo, the slave family has a big matter to discuss with you!"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuo was immersed in a heart-to-heart conversation with Bai Feng at this time and did not hear what Ajuan said at all. Gradually, the carriage drove farther and farther, and soon the three men were left behind.
The little girl from the Zhao family knew that her old acquaintance was coming, so she had already arranged a banquet and prepared bath water. However, she felt a little disappointed when she found out that Bai Feng and the others had not yet returned to the Zhao mansion.
Although she was temporarily freed from the engagement, she was still a caged bird or a turtle in an urn. She had few ways to gain pleasure and many ways to increase her troubles. Therefore, once a friend came to visit, she must be the one who treated her most positively. people.
During the peaceful lunch, several girls sat around the exquisite dining table, talking to each other about everything.
Therefore, the younger sister was able to learn from Ajuan that her brother "vomited his breasts three times a meal" in order to meet Bai Feng. She couldn't help but recite Cao Mengde's poem with emotion: "The Duke of Zhou vomits food, and the world returns to its heart. It seems that he The purpose is to win over people's hearts, not just to bring Mr. Bai back and wash away his dust."
Ajuan knew that Zhao Xiaomei and Zhao Kuo had a close friendship and understood each other. For this reason, he did not hesitate to reveal his plan to transform the Taoist temple into an academy. Even if all the credit was put on the other party's head, he would never regret it.
After hearing this, everyone here applauded one after another. Several girls headed by the younger sister cooperated with each other, praising and praising each other, saying: "I never thought that Sister Ajuan could have such a consciousness before. If we want to build an academy, we must have a teacher." , I would be very willing to find some teachers for Sister Ajuan’s academy.”
"This is not the academy of the slave family, it belongs to Miss Murong and Mr. Bai!" Ajuan explained: "Besides, the slave family also wants to understand what it means that 'the Duke of Zhou vomits food and the world returns to its heart'! When the academy is built, everyone can study. Yes, how great!"
Murong Yan continued to reply: "Sister Ajuan, how can this be privately owned by me and Brother Feng! The mansion was originally built by Taiping Road to collect people's wealth and anointing, so this academy should also be owned by the people of Yuyi Town - why not, we can Let’s call it ‘Yu Yi Academy’?”
"Sister Murong is always so kind-hearted." Zi Chai immediately praised her, then looked at the other girls ecstatically, scooped up the hot soup with a wooden spoon and fed it into her mouth, unconsciously falling into a sweet dream. .
