Chapter 2 Wendou
“No, no.”
Su Laoquan laughed dryly for a few times. He was happy with Zhao Yunming's coincidence and helped him to relieve himself.
Du Shouyi also smiled awkwardly and took Du Ruo to salute Zhao Yunming.
Du Ruo saw that the Song Dynasty prince in front of him had made an appointment with Du Shouyi for about a year, and he could take care of him better than Du Shouyi. He had a face like a jade crown and a magnificent spirit. He was worthy of being a royal nobleman.
But at this time, the most eye-catching thing in the hall was not the prince, but a young man following him. He was wearing a satin white lantern and brocade robe, a white jade crown, sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a golden jade style. His every move was full of nobility.
"So handsome!"
Du Ruo couldn't help but exclaim secretly. He searched for his memories and learned that this was the little prince Zhao Zongze, a few years older than him. However, this person had never looked at him directly since he came in. He was a little arrogant. He was the only son of a local snake in Meizhou.
"I wonder what happened to Lord Du when he came to Brother Laoquan's mansion?"
Zhao Yunming asked Du Shouyi first. Du Shouyi was stunned. He couldn't say anything about "remarriage", so he asked back: "I don't know what the prince is here?"
He vaguely saw that there seemed to be a royal servant carrying a gift box at the second door outside, and he felt a little unknown.
"Haha, Lord Du is not an outsider, just testify. I came to propose marriage for Zong Ze, and I brought the matchmaker's betrothal gifts together."
Few people knew about Su Xiaomei and Du Ruo's engagement. Zhao Yunming married Su Laoquan last year and gave up after learning about the engagement. However, he also saw that Su Laoquan despised Du Ruo, so he kept his mind. When he learned that the two families had terminated the engagement, he immediately brought his son to propose marriage.
"That's great, Brother Zongze is a talented man!"
Later, Su Che was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Yunming's words. He looked at Su Xiaomei beside him and smiled and said, "Brother Zongze is not as talented as his second brother, but he has to be above me, so he deserves to be worthy of his younger sister!"
Su Xiaomei blushed and stammered: "What are the third brother saying nonsense!"
Zhao Zongze's talent is well-known in the literary circle of Meizhou. In addition, his royal status is the object of countless Meizhou girls' boudoir. Su Xiaomei has met several times before at literary meetings, and she is impressed every time.
"What?"
In the hall, Du Shouyi exploded. He immediately glared at Su Laoquan, looking at Brother Laoquan, and his expression was that he had been colluding with the royal family to get a marriage contract.
After many years of friends, Su Laoquan immediately read Du Shouyi's meaning and hurriedly said, "I don't know, I don't know either."
Du Shouyi believed in Su Laoquan, but he was still as if he was facing a great enemy. Zhao Yunming, on the side, had known it and asked with a smile: "Why is Lord Du so nervous? Isn't this a good thing?"
Du Shouyi held it in his arms. He had already had a marriage contract with the Su family, so he naturally ignored anything to object. After holding it in for a while, he looked at the pitiful Du Ruo on the side and made a fuss: "Come on, we are here to propose marriage too! The matchmaker's betrothal gift will arrive later!"
"Oh? What a coincidence. I wonder which child of the Su family was mentioned by Lord Du?"
Zhao Yunming smiled calmly. Now that the Du family has no engagement, the two sides compete fairly. No matter from any perspective, his son Zhao Zongze is ten thousand times better than Du Ruo, who is not good at poetry and books in front of him.
"Didn't the prince ask me knowingly? Brother Lao Quan only has one daughter and I have only one son. It's impossible to propose marriage to his Erlang Su Shi!"
After Du Shouyi finished speaking, Du Ruo was a little shy, "I really hate it!"
"We are also here for the little sister!"
At this time, the atmosphere between the two became tense. Now it is not the Han and Tang dynasties. As a middle-level cadre of the civil servant group, Du Shouyi naturally did not fear any royal relatives. As a prince, Zhao Yunming was not afraid of civil servants. Neither side wanted to retreat.
"There must be someone who comes first and then comes!" Du Shouyi said coldly.
"This is a major event in life. How can you come first and then come before you decide?"
"Anyway, we are determined to win!"
"We are confident!"
………
The two sides argued, and in the end, Su Laoquan decided to take over. Both sides were unwilling to offend, but they just kept silent.
"Everyone knows that Su Xiaomei is first-class in literary talent, and is Li Du, the daughter of Li and Du. If you want to win her heart, you must have Li and Du Wen. It is better to compete with Du Ruo brother Wen, please choose your own choice."
At this time, Zhao Zongze, who had been standing behind Zhao Yunming, spoke, and as soon as he spoke, the scene calmed down.
"Do you dare to fight?" Zhao Zongze looked at Du Ruo, his eyes as if he was looking at trash.
Du Ruo was stunned, and Du Shouyi "knows" that he was showing his timidity and became embarrassed for him.
"There is a saying among the people that martial arts competitions attract marriage. Since you both sides are arguing, why don't we choose a son-in-law in a literary battle? I think the little girl is also very happy."
When Su Laoquan said this, he looked at Du Shouyi and Du Ruo very sorry and gentlely. He knew that their father and son would definitely retreat, so he apologized in advance.
"Wen Dou, Du Ruo is afraid that he is not qualified to compete with Brother Zong Ze."
Behind, Su Che shook his head, Su Xiaomei blinked and frowned slightly. She felt that Zhao Zongze was bullying the weak, and everyone in Meizhou knew that Du Ruo had no talent.
"well!"
Du Shouyi looked at Du Ruo helplessly, meaning that son, let’s go, don’t be embarrassed here. Go back and eat steamed buns and gamble, study hard, look at how sad it is to be uneducated, and you can’t even catch a girl!
"I dare to ask Brother Zhao, what is Wen Dou Bi?"
Du Ruo stood up and asked lightly.
Seeing Du Ruo like this, Su Laoquan was stunned. Zhao Yunming and his son showed a hint of mockery. Zhao Zongze slowly said: "Of course I can listen to Uncle Su's decision."
The tone is plain, but it is very domineering.
Su Laoquan smiled bitterly and said, "Just take the school poetry exam."
"Then compare words!"
Du Ruo originally wanted to be more secure after traveling through time and slowly change the original owner's character, but now he doesn't care about this in order to be Su Shi's brother-in-law.
‘It’s the time of Renzong, and Li Qingzhao and Xin Qiji have not been born yet! Compare words with me? Compare them! Gentle and bold, let them go! I can’t compare you to you!’
Du Ruo was confident, but when the rest of the people heard that he actually agreed to Wen Dou, they almost fell off their chin. The Zhao family father and son smiled contemptuously. Su Laoquan stared at Du Ruo, suspected that he had ruined his brain after he was dead. Du Shouyi also looked at Du Ruo in disbelief.
"Sorry, my son has not recovered from illness and is confused for a moment." Du Shouyi attacked Su Laoquan and wanted to pull Du Ruo away, "Ruoer, let's go, go back to find the doctor and look at his brain..."
Du Ruo had no intention of leaving. He straightened his back, swept away the decadence and said seriously: "Father, I am serious. Sometimes what people see may not be the truth."
Du Shouyi was stunned, and the others still thought Du Ruo was overestimating his abilities and just supported him.
"I'm a little brave."
