Therefore, refusing to participate in poetry festivals is obviously not the best policy.

What he should do is to find a way to make the prince lose the idea of ​​befriending him.

"What time is it today?" Rong Zhuo asked Jin Douzi.

"Today's third day, there are still six days until the ninth day of the poetry meeting." Jin Douzi replied.

Rong Zhuo thought about it, asked the other party to find a blank post, and sent a pen to the prince of Yongan Hou Shizi.

In the past two days, he has read the posts in the study, and has probably learned the format, so he can barely cope with replying to a post.

And thanks to the trend of rolling up from dolls in modern society, Rong Zhuo grew up in various hobby classes when he was a child. He learned calligraphy well.

"Young Master, are you planning to go?" Jin Douzi asked.

"Go." Rong Zhuo handed the written post to Jin Douzi, "Send it to the Marquis of Yong'an."

Jindouzi hurriedly took the post and ran away.

After waiting for him to leave, Rong Zhuo quietly picked up the medicine bowl and poured the medicine inside into the flowers at the door.

"Yo, what is my cousin doing?" A yin and yang voice came from the door of the small courtyard.

Rong Zhuo had already guessed who the person was coming from listening to the movement. He hurriedly raised his head and smiled brightly at the other party, and obediently called out, "Cousin."

This man was the cousin of Rong Zhuo's uncle's house, his name was Duan Zheng, a well-known playboy in the capital.

The Duan family has been in business for generations and has a rich family background, so they spoiled Duan Zheng, the only son, into an ignorant and ignorant dude. Rong Zhuo in the original book was not speculative with this person, and seldom took the initiative to communicate with each other. In addition, scholars and playboys were born with a wall, so the relationship between the two was not close.

Duan Zheng occasionally came to the Rong Mansion as a guest, and when he saw his gentle and beautiful cousin, he would sarcastically make a few yin and yang sarcasms, in exchange for the other party's indifference.

But today, Rong Zhuo rarely treated him so well, which surprised him a little.

Duan Zheng's eyes fell on Rong Zhuo's face, and he saw that the youth's facial features were as delicate and beautiful as those carved out of white porcelain, especially those eyes were bright and clear, and the long eyelashes looked innocent and simple.

"I just saw your little servant holding a reply to Yongan Hou Shizi, are you going to participate in the poetry party?" Duan Zheng asked him.

"Well, Shizi's post arrived two days ago, and I just remembered to reply today."

"What's the point of this Luo Shizishi? Why don't you play polo with me!" Duan Zheng said.

"Cousin has never been to the poetry festival, how do you know the poetry festival is boring?" Rong Zhuo asked with a smile.

"When you're a scholar, I don't want to talk to myself!" Duan Zheng said in a disdainful tone, "I've already heard that all the people who go to poetry clubs are little white faces like you, and there's no fun person, boring!"

Rong Zhuo knew that he was not the only one who went to this poetry party, but there were also many young talents, who were probably candidates the prince wanted to recruit.

But playboys like Duan Zheng, whether they have read or not, are not invited.

It stands to reason that although a son like Duan Zheng is not well educated, his family is rich, and it is not without the value of solicitation.

What is the reason why the prince is so smart not to contaminate them?

Naturally, it has a good reputation for being upright and loving.

So no matter what the prince's true preferences are, at least on the surface he won't like a dummy like Duan Zheng.

This is exactly what Rong Zhuo is thinking now...

His teacher's inheritance can't be changed, and he can't be overthrown even after he has only learned for a while, but his reputation can be manipulated.

As long as his personality changes from a gentle and elegant talent to a playboy like Duan Zheng, the prince will voluntarily give up his chess piece.

More importantly, at present, the prince has not officially extended an olive branch to him, but he has so much interest in him. If he hadn't known the content of the original book, he would never have known that the prince would go to the poetry meeting. Therefore, he deliberately ruined his reputation, so that the prince would not be suspicious. The other party would only think that his subordinates were negligent in their duties.

At that time, although the crown prince will be disappointed with Rong Zhuo, he will not be embarrassed.

After thinking about this section, Rong Zhuo said to Duan Zheng: "Cousin said it very well, I also think poetry will be boring."

"Ah?" Duan Zheng probably didn't expect that his normally serious cousin would make such remarks, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I'm tired of studying in my room all day long." Rong Zhuo pursed his lips and put on the attitude of a good little brother, "Cousin must know a lot of interesting things, right? Can you take me when you have time? knowledge?"

Obviously, to learn to be a dummy, it would be more appropriate to find his cousin.

Sure enough, Duan Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he immediately became interested.

He has been a playboy for so many years, and he has played with many people, but his cousin, he never looks at him. Unexpectedly, the sun came out from the west today, and his little cousin, Duan Fang Shouli, actually took the initiative to get to know him.

"You are asking me!" Duan Zheng went into the room and sat down, counting the fun things at him with his fingers, "Flowers, casinos, playing polo, fighting crickets... these are the best things to do. Basically, there are no places I can play in the whole capital that I am unfamiliar with, where do you want to go, tell me?"

Rong Zhuo smiled at him, "Can you go all over again?"

Anyway, he still has six days to work, and he doesn't want to waste a day.

Duan Zheng:  …

His beautiful cousin with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly opened up?

"Why don't we start by visiting Hualou today?" Rong Zhuo asked him.

Duan Zheng stared at Rong Zhuo, and saw that the young man's eyes were clear and his face looked simple and obedient, but he couldn't see the slightest bit of lewdness. He even suspected that his beautiful cousin had gone to Hualou, only to be taken advantage of by others. Dude, who is the one who suffers!

"Do you know where Hualou is?" Duan Zheng asked.
