Chapter 400

"I want to ask him out after the exam." Zhang Rui scratched his neck and said, "I'm not embarrassed."

"What are you sorry about?" Du Xiaoli said. "It was agreed that you came to the capital to find us."

"Hey, hey." Zhang Rui smiled twice.

"What are you doing here?" Du Xiaoli asked when he saw him walking here alone.

"I'll come out and see what the capital looks like. It's nothing," Zhang Rui replied.

"Since it's all right, go and see your brother. If your brother knows you're coming, he will be very happy." Du Xiaoli said, "where do you live now?"

"I live in a small hotel in the west of the city." Zhang Rui said shyly.

Du Xiaoli frowned and said, "it's so noisy in the west of the city and the sound insulation of the room is not good. How can you review your books there? Well, why don't you go to the prime minister's house? Anyway, there are a lot of empty yards over there."

"That's very interesting." Zhang Rui waved his hand again and again and said, "is the prime minister's house free for grass-roots people like me?"

Du Xiaoli knows that Zhang Rui is also very stubborn. She doesn't bother to talk to him. Anyway, Du Xiuheng will let him live in the past when he sees him. Let him talk.

"Since we are Xiuheng's friends, let's go straight back," Fu Yalan said.

"Oh, look, I patronize to catch up with you, but I didn't introduce you." Du Xiaoli patted his forehead and said, "this is my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, this is brother Zhang Rui often mentioned by my brother."

"Don't call Cao min's brother, princess. It doesn't matter whether you are superior or inferior." Zhang Rui said.

Still this temper! Du Xiaoli couldn't help rolling his eyes and took him back to the prime minister's house.

In the prime minister's house, Du Xiuheng was reading in the pavilion in the yard. Xigu made him a pot of tea and put a pile of snacks, but the snacks didn't move all afternoon.

When Du Xiaoli and Fu Yalan brought Zhang Rui into the yard, they saw Du Xiuheng at a glance.

"When he reads, he is still the same as before. He has to drink tea." Zhang Rui sighed.

Schoolmates and friends, brothers from childhood to adulthood, have been away for more than a year, and they are more noble than before, but those little habits are still retained, and I can't help sighing when I see them again.

"Brother Zhang Rui, brother, is still the old brother." Du Xiaoli said with a smile, and then shouted to Du Xiuheng, "brother, who do you think I brought?"

Du Xiuheng just finished reading a word. Hearing Du Xiaoli's voice, he turned around and saw Zhang Rui. He got up and came over excitedly.

"Brother Zhang Rui!"

"Brother Xiuheng." Zhang Ruiying went up. They hugged each other on the way, and then hit each other on the shoulder twice.

"When did you come to the capital? How did you meet your sister?" Du Xiuheng asked.

"I've been here for three or four days. I met Princess Anle when I was watching in the street today," Zhang Rui said.

"It's been three or four days? Well, you haven't come to me in the capital for so many days! Have you forgotten our original agreement?" Du Xiuheng said with a face.

"How could I forget? I just want to visit after the exam," Zhang Rui explained.

He is not the kind of person who likes to follow suit. After knowing the identity of Du Xiuheng and Du Xiaoli, he is embarrassed to visit the prime minister's house, so as not to let others say behind his back that he wants to climb a high branch or something.

"Well, I say my brother must be angry when he knows?" Du Xiaoli said, "well, don't stand here and talk about the past. Go sit and talk."

"Come on, let's talk in the pavilion." Du Xiuheng patted Zhang Rui and said.

"Then I'll ask someone to make you three a cup of tea, and then let someone get a little heart." Fu Yalan said with a smile.

Du Xiuheng looked at Fu Yalan, nodded and said, "it's hard for you, Yalan."

"Let's go. It's not too tired to stand." Du Xiaoli said to them and took the lead in coming to the pavilion.

Du Xiuheng and Zhang Rui also came in. The three sat down around the stone table. Du Xiaoli handed the cake to Zhang Rui and asked him to take one to eat. Zhang Rui delayed for a while, but Du Xiaoli insisted. He ate one piece and said, "the food in the capital is really much better than those in our places, but it's still not as delicious as Princess Anle used to."

In the past, when Du Xiuheng and Zhang Rui were still in school, Du Xiaoli often made a lot of cakes for Du Xiuheng, and his share was indispensable every time. He kept his mouth in those years.

"Brother, have you found that brother Zhang Rui has become so restrained this time? He is not like the person before?" Du Xiaoli asked.

"Where do I have? Am I not who I used to be?" Zhang Rui retorted.

"I haven't said yet. You used to call me Xiaoli's sister. Now I'm an Anle princess. I'm not used to it." Du Xiaoli said.

"That's etiquette. You can't abolish it or surpass it," Zhang Rui said.

"Come on, brother Zhang Rui, don't you know your sister's temperament?" Du Xiuheng looked at Zhang Rui and said, "if you don't do what she said, she has some ways to clean you up. Do you still want to be forced to go to the red chamber by her last time?"

Zhang Rui's face turned red and said, "don't you say that anymore?" once, Du Xiaoli and Zhang Rui won a bet. If Zhang Rui lost, he would take her to visit the Red Mansions. Zhang Rui didn't want to be teased by Du Xiaoli at that time. Finally, he had to take Du Xiaoli in men's clothes to go once. But it was also his first time, so his face was red in the whole process. Du Xiaoli was very comfortable in it. "Ha ha, when I think of brother Zhang Rui's appearance that time, I always have a red face. When a girl talks to him, he can sprinkle tea. It's really funny." Du Xiaoli said with a smile. "Anle..." Zhang Rui wanted Du Xiaoli to stop talking. Seeing Du Xiaoli's expression, he had to compromise and said, "sister Xiaoli." "it's not right to call it that early." Du Xiaoli said proudly that these old antiques have to be taught a lesson every time to change their ideas. "By the way, brother Zhang Rui lives in the west of the city. I said he didn't want to let him live in the house." "why not?" Du Xiuheng looked at Zhang Rui and said, "You have come to the capital. What hotel do you still live in? There are so many empty yards in our house. Why do you spend that unjust money? Moreover, the environment there is bad, which will affect your review. When you come to the house, we can discuss knowledge and exams together." "but this..." "Brother Zhang Rui, we grew up together when we were young. We were classmates, but it's not too much to say we were brothers. I was taken care of by you when I was in school. Now you can't forget the friendship we grew up together in those years because we are a little different from our previous identity? This is not what a great man should have. As the saying goes, a great man doesn't stick to details, I know You are afraid of gossip, but as my sister said, go your own way, regardless of other people's ideas. "
