Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 277 276. Quota
Li Zhen was indeed venting her anger on Hongying's behalf.

Even the brothers are "celebrities".

But in the end, everyone has their own set of principles of closeness and closeness in their hearts.

Hongying is his friend.

Come to my house and tell my friends bad things to my face.

Although he didn't have any ill feeling towards these two brothers, just like what Qin Qiong said, although the two brothers were naturally stupid in nature, they didn't mean to be mean to others.

But then again.

Your own character flaws, why should others pay for you?

They are all raised by parents, why should I accommodate you?
Why didn't you do it on purpose, the attitude of "you are from Pegasus City, I have to stay away from you" has already been put on, which made my friend feel uncomfortable.

But because you are someone I know from another friend, I can't beat you openly.

But it's always right to block you.

So, seeing the two brothers blushing anxiously because of the phrase "you have to spend money to enter the door", Li Zhen chuckled:
"You two have something to do with the poor?"

"I... two brothers heard a story..."

"Well, it's me."

Before Yan Lide finished speaking, Li Zhen nodded.

Brother Young Master was taken aback, then pointed at the door:

"The word at the door..."

"Written by someone else."

"..."

Yan Lide was taken aback again.

And Yan Qian behind him, the young man who hadn't taken the word "Liben" also spoke:

"That seal..."

"I don't know how to read."

"..."

"Daoist..."

Under Hongying's smiling gaze, Qin Qiong, who had already heard Li Zhen's intention of defending her, yelled in embarrassment.

Li Zhen laughed:
"Haha, it's just a joke, don't blame Brother Shubao. I think these two are simple-minded, and they are not bad people, so don't blame them. It's just that it's time for Pindao to open the book, and the two of you will be seated first." Come on, Liu Ding, serve tea."

Shouted to Liu Ding, he pinched his fingers:
"Second sons, stay with me."

After speaking, he waved his sleeves and walked away.

At this moment, people began to come one after another, and there were two tables in the room.There was a table where the two brothers came in together.

Liu Ding has already started selling tickets at the door.

Hearing what my husband said, I ran all the way into the house to pick up the teapot.

He is also busy here.

And the two brothers didn't understand the voice-over, but both Qin Qiong and Hongying understood it.

The passage just now is to separate two layers of meaning.

The first half of the sentence is to tell Qin Qiong and Hongying, "I know these two people have no bad intentions", and the second half of the sentence is to ask Qin Qiong to "entertain the two of them".

And speaking of this, why did Qin Qiong entertain him?

The brothers may not understand.

But Qin Qiong understands.

It meant to ease the atmosphere between the visitor from Pegasus City and the two brothers.

After all...these two naturally stayed at a respectful distance, although they seemed to be protecting themselves, but invisibly, they offended this...woman who had a close relationship with the Taoist priest.

And the most uncomfortable ones were Li Zhen and himself caught in the middle.

Gee.

With a sigh in his heart, Qin Qiong acted like a big brother:

"Both of you, hurry up and apologize to Miss Hongying. It's fine if you speak freely in the mansion. Miss Hongying has never offended you two, and she is a friend of me and the Taoist priest, how dare you speak so rudely!"

"It's okay."

Hongying also spoke.

She thought it was simple... the Taoist priest's face...

I give.

Don't make things difficult for him.

And although the two brothers didn't understand these meanings, when they saw Qin Qiong's staring eyes, they were also scared.

Yan Li pulled his younger brother forward, and the two bowed and cupped their hands:
"Miss Hongying, don't blame me, it's because my brother and I can't talk, which makes Miss unhappy..."

"Sister, brother."

Before Yan Lide finished speaking, he was reminded by his younger brother.

And this idiot brother looked at the face of the glamorous beauty, and compared it again... nodded vigorously:

"Well, don't blame sister Hongying..."

The corner of Hongying's mouth twitched again...

The coldness in his eyes turned into an absurd dumbfounding.

That's all...

Angry with fools.

Why bother?
……

"Miss Hongying, compared with the behavior of ordinary people, these two little brothers are really inappropriate. But...the two brothers are not small. Uncle Yan was the hereditary Duke of Da'an in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his family learned skills. Danqing, arithmetic, fabrication, and military weapons are all masters. And the two brothers inherited the blood of their uncle, and they are even more proficient in this way. They have been with landscape utensils all year round, so their minds are inevitably a little simple, please don't blame me."

After sitting down and serving tea, Qin Qiong explained again.

And Yan Qian who was holding a teacup also nodded:

"Yes, yes, sister. Don't blame me. I have offended you so much today. If... my sister agrees, my elder brother can draw a second painting for you to apologize. My elder brother's paintings are very valuable, at least 500 taels per piece! I can also draw! But I It took a little longer to paint. With my sister's beauty, at least I have to figure out how to capture the charm in March before I can start writing. When the time comes...uh..."

Speaking of this, Yan Qian opened his mouth, as if he felt that there were some things that should not be said...

Finally, he simply pointed at Yan Lide:

"Let my brother draw!"

"...???"

Hongying didn't even realize it, when is she going to have someone paint her?
But looking at Yan Lide who had already started to stare at her directly... her heart was full of irrefutable paleness.

That's it.

And these two idiots...

What's so serious about it?

She, who was already powerless to resist the two brothers, shook her head. Although her tone was cold, the cold emotion just now was gone.

He didn't mind Yan Lide looking at him, but asked Yan Qian:
"Master Yan..."

"My sister can just call me Xiaoqian. Well... If it doesn't suit you, you can also call me brother Qian, my mother will call me that."

In the east wing.

Li Zhen rolled his eyes.

Fine.

Fortunately, it wasn't Brother Qian'er.

This "brother" is indeed a nickname for some boys in some areas.

If he really yelled "Brother Qian'er", Li Laodao would probably take the curling iron and take this natural guy to perm his head.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and closed his eyes again.

The atmosphere at the table has returned to normal.

He stopped listening.

There is less than half an hour to start the book, so I have to make preparations quickly.

……

"Young Master Yan, I just want to ask, after you found out that I am from Pegasus City, why did you look away, as if encountering a snake or a scorpion?"

Hearing Hongying's question, Qin Qiong was startled...

I'm afraid that the two brothers will say the wrong thing.

And although the two brothers are naturally stupid, it doesn't mean that some things will be endlessly stupid.

After hearing this, they looked at each other.

Yan Lide lowered his voice:

"Sister, don't you know? Since yesterday, there has been a news in the city. It is said that you came this time to compete with other people for the quota at the time of the eve of the year. I don't know how many people in this city now regard you as A thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh."

"...?"

"?"

As soon as these words were spoken, both Qin Qiong and Hongying were taken aback.

Before Hongying could speak, Qin Qiong asked first:
"Li De, the quota you mentioned... what kind of quota? But the quota for your Majesty to go to Jiangdu next year?"

"No."

Yan Lide shook his head, and his tone was a bit puzzled:
"Brother Qin, don't you know? Since the eve of the year is set this year, His Majesty has authorized hundreds of families to enter the city. In order to do so, there will be a selection. It will be selected to assist the King of Yue in guarding the Eastern Capital. In the coming year, His Majesty will go to Jiangdu, and the King of Yue will stay behind. One family stays in Luoyang. So far, hundreds of families have respected this family, waiting for...the king of Yue to succeed..."

His voice was lowered:
"This family has the merits of being a dragon. Many people have been spreading it before, saying that in the future when the king of Yue succeeds to the throne, a new state religion will be established. Otherwise, the eldest brother thinks why it is only a year old that can attract so many people Come in?"

"..."

"..."

In an instant, the two of them frowned.
