Chapter 53 The Young Master of the Du Family
"Little sister, little sister!" As soon as Liu You and the others arrived in front of the Shu Case, Zhang Chuwen chased after him. He hurried to Zhang Chuchu and blamed Zhang Chuchu with some breath and said, "Why did you come here alone? A girl's house? This is very dangerous."
"Brother Chu Wen! I didn't expect to meet here." Liu Yi bowed and said hello to Zhang Chu Wen, then looked at Zhang Chu Chu Chu Chu and said, "Is this lady a Miss Chu Chu Chu? I'm so lucky to be polite."
"Young Master Liu is polite." Zhang Chuchu nodded gently, and the part on her face that was not covered by her blue shirt turned red.
"Sister Chuchu! It's really you!" Liu Xiaohui shouted happily in Liu Yi's arms: "I was almost recognizing it just now! Sister Chuchu, why are you doing with your face covering? Xiaohui can't recognize you until now."
Zhang Chuchu smiled and said, "Sister Xiao Hui, it is a custom to cover your face and go out on the street. You are still young now, and you will also cover your face when you grow up."
Zhang Chuwen also noticed Liu Yi's existence at this time, and hurriedly bowed and said, "It turns out that Yi Yi's brother is here too. No wonder Chu Chu ran here for no reason, haha."
"Brother!" Zhang Chuchu said embarrassedly: "I saw that the lanterns here are quite unique, so I came here, not for it."
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand, I understand." Zhang Chuwen interrupted Zhang Chuchu's words. Then he smiled and said to Liu Yi: "Brother Liu is here to fight for the lamp? Come on, I am familiar with it here. There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table over there. Brother Liu can splash ink and write poems here. In another two moments, Du Wei, the noble son of Du Zhi, will come here to comment. Du Master Du's articles are deeply understood by Mr. Du Yan. The poems here can be commented on, but it is a rare opportunity."
It can be seen that Zhang Chuwen had extraordinary admiration for Du Zhigui, Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "There is no need to write poetry and lyrics. Yi Yi is just a fun place. I heard that Mr. Du is one of the few talented people in Sanyuan County, and Yi Yi also wants to see Mr. Du's style."
"Yes, Mr. Du's article Chu Wen is also deeply impressed." Zhang Chu Wen seemed to have met a soulmate and began to talk about Du Zhigui's deeds for Liu Yi in a turbulent manner.
Dewey, whose courtesy name was Zigui. Born in a wealthy family, his grandfather Du Yan was famous all over the world for his outstanding articles and was appointed as the censor of the current dynasty. Dewey was smart since childhood, knew etiquette, and understood filial piety and brotherhood. He was deeply loved by Du Yan and regarded him as the key target of training.
Dewey did not disappoint Du Yan. He was very studious since he was a child. He received the true teachings of his grandfather at the age of fifteen. He gained the reputation of a young talent in Sanyuan County and also had a certain reputation in Chang'an City.
Liu Yi had never seen Du Zigui's talent and didn't know it. But looking at Zhang Chuwen's appearance, it should be bad. Zhang Chuwen is still a pure scholar now, and the most deficient thing is the scholar's spirit. In today's words, Zhang Chuwen is an angry young man and will never flatter Du Zhigui for the power of the Du family.
Young, wealthy, powerful, and able to win the true support of a poor scholar like Zhang Chuwen, Du Zigui is either a complete good man or a traitor who is very good at concealing his deep scheming.
This is what Liu Yi said to Du Zigui. However, he was still leaning against the latter possibility from the bottom. The living environment determines a person's personality. Liu Yi did not believe that the child who had been hanging around in the circle of officials since childhood would be so kind. He was willing to hold this fight, so it was probably mostly a show-off.
When Zhang Chuchu heard Zhang Chuwen and kept praising Du Zhigui again, he was dissatisfied and interrupted, "Brother, I have told you so many times. It is not easy to believe too much about a child of an official like Dewey, otherwise he will suffer a loss in the future."
Zhang Chu smiled when he heard this, but did not refute it. He just smiled gently, "Little sister, I can't explain Mr. Du's character clearly. What I admire is only his articles. Judging from his talent, Mr. Du's talent is enough to be the first of all talented men in Sanyuan County. I am far from him, heaven and earth."
"Haha, Brother Chu Wen, don't belittle yourself. You are one of the only tribute students in our country and five miles. In the future, you are a Jinshi. Don't be blinded by a few articles. You should know that for an official, personal ability is the key. Talent can only be a fame for the individual, while ability can be a benefit for the people. For the people, affordability is a good official." Seeing that Zhang Chuwen actually had some inferiority complex, Liu You couldn't help but think of the issues of academic qualifications and ability that modern people often discuss, and took it out casually, saying that he knew it with Zhang Chuwen to be generous.
After listening to Liu Yi's high argument, a trace of brilliance flashed in Zhang Chuchu's eyes, and his affection for Liu Yi became a little more.
Zhang Chuwen felt as if he had been poured into a pot, and his heart suddenly became clear. He bowed to Liu Yi and said, "Mr. Liu said so well, Chu Wen has received the teachings."
"Haha, brother Chu Wen just listen to the random words, don't take them seriously." Liu Yi said politely.
Zhang Chuwen said seriously: "What Mr. Liu said is the most profound truth. Chu Wen was a little vain just now."
Liu Yi nodded and smiled without saying a word. Seeing a young man in gorgeous clothes walking towards them by a group of people, he pointed at the young man and said, "Brother Chu Wen, is that young man Du Zigui Du?"
Zhang Chuwen looked in the direction Liu Yi pointed, nodded and said, "Yes, he is Du Zigui." His tone was calm when he spoke, and he was completely gone. He felt excited when he mentioned Du Zigui just now. It seemed that he had really figured it out.
Liu Yi looked at it carefully. Du Zigui and Liu Erzhao were about fifteen years old. They had white skin and lacked the moisturizing of sunshine. Their facial features were handsome. Although they were not as good as Li Rusi, they had reached the point where many men were jealous. There was often a seemingly gentle smile on their faces, which was not as silly as Liu Erzhao's, and they were very friendly.
This Du Zhigui is good. No wonder many of the older girls and wives along the way kept glaring at him. Liu Yi looked at Zhang Chuchu beside him and found that she was also observing young Master Du secretly, but the expression on her face was actually disdain!
Seeing this situation, Liu Yi felt relieved. Fortunately, his future young wife is not the kind of person who only looks at the appearance and is vain.
At this time, when the scholars in front of the book case saw Dewey coming, they all warmly greeted him, while Liu Yi and the others watched quietly. Unexpectedly, they did not go to greet him, and Du Zigui walked towards them instead.
