The imperial capital, the day of May. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Rumors arose, and they were true.

It is rumored that the fifth princess was seriously injured by Mrs. Huai'an Hou, and she was in a coma for three days and three nights, and she can't get out of bed until now.

It is rumored that Zeng Yueqin, the wife of Huai'an Hou, was removed from the title of wife by the court and sent back to her hometown.

It is rumored that the Queen Mother was so angry because of the serious injury of the fifth princess that the palace was covered with dark clouds for many days.

In fact, this is probably the case, except that the fifth princess did not faint for three days and three nights, but woke up the next day after she fell into a coma.

Putting aside the matter of the fifth princess, the operation of his affairs in the imperial city is carried out according to its laws.

According to the rules, the Jinshi of the new department will either be given an official position, or will not be admitted to the Hanlin Academy, so as to wait for the later examination.

Li Chaochen, a new scholar who was rumored to be better than Pan An, was also elected to the Hanlin Academy as people wished. And its portrait and scientific examination answers have also become Luoyang paper expensive. The bookstores and bookstores that were the first to publish his portrait also made a lot of money.

It's the middle of May. Because this year's scientific expedition has been postponed, when the new scientists are seated, it is already spring to summer solstice, the weather is hot, and people's interest in playing has also dissipated.

The emperor's garden party to entertain the new scholars was also hastily completed in Changchun Garden on the third day of the fifth month.

"Sure enough, Brother Zifan was appointed by the Holy Lord to accompany him within two days of entering the Hanlin Academy. ”

Just after the early dynasty, in a restaurant in the west corner of the capital, you were all selected as a new colleague of the Hanlin Academy and booked a private room. The silver in the private room was naturally still in and out of Sun Jin, and this smiling remark also came out of Sun Jin's mouth.

"Brother Yutai is happy, how about I also recommend Brother Tai to the emperor one day?" Li Chaochen replied with a sullen hum.

Sun Jin laughed and shook his head again and again: "I can't do it, first of all, I don't have the good atmosphere of Brother Zifan." ”

"Weather!" Li Zifan snorted again.

Sun Jin nodded again and again, and the other Hanlin scholars on the side also giggled.

The restaurant is located on the edge of the alley at the end of Houhai, and the panes of the private rooms face the sparkling waves of the water.

The weather was fine, and this day was also a rare coolness after the summer. On the edge of the embankment, there are many young ladies who swim together.

"Didn't Brother Wen Yu come today?" someone asked.

"I guess I can't come, he was called to work in the household department. Sun Jin replied.

"Brother Shouming seems to have been called by the household department as well. Li Chaochen said.

"Shouming said he was coming. The man said before.

"Can he finish the work of the household department?" Li Chaochen looked at the man.

The man shook his head: "Who can settle the accounts of the household department, he just has the courage to make a mess." ”

The door of the compartment was pushed open, and Cui Yin, who was said by everyone, walked in.

Cui Yin walked to the empty chair and sat down, sighing and saying, "The account of the household department really can't be calculated. ”

Sun Jin looked at him and said with a light smile: "No matter what, Brother Shouming can also come." But Brother Wen Yu couldn't come yet. ”

Cui Yin poured himself a cup of tea, raised his head and drank it all, and replied: "He was called to settle the accounts of the Ministry of Works, how can those accounts be settled." ”

"Why can't you figure it out?" asked Li Chaochen.

Cui Yin smiled bitterly: "It's easy to say if the accounts are clear, but there are too many dark accounts, and the money doesn't know where it went." How can this be calculated. ”

"Fang Wenzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is the maternal uncle of the Queen Mother. Someone sighed.

"So no one dares to ask the Ministry of Works' accounts. Someone shook his head.

"The Shanxi coal mine collapsed, 500 people died, and the miners rebelled, what a big deal. But Lu Linyu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, did not receive any punishment. I heard that those mines had just been built, and I don't know where the money was spent in this department. ”

"I heard that the silver in the mine was not from the imperial court. Li Chaochen interjected.

Cui Yin looked at Li Chaochen, his eyes flashed with exploration, and said, "If it's not the silver of the imperial court, can you spend it indiscriminately?"

Li Chaochen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Didn't Brother Shouming talk about the household accounting, it's not the silver of the imperial court, it shouldn't be a loss to the household department." ”

Cui Yin also smiled and nodded: "That's right, hehe." ”

Sun Jin smiled at Li Chaochen again at this time, and said: "The account in Brother Zifan's heart is really clear, haha, the person who wants to recruit Master Tan, who was in charge of the household department a month ago, is Brother Zifan." I think Master Tan also has a vision, and he doesn't judge people by their appearance. It's a pity that Zifan was robbed by the emperor, and Lord Tan had no choice, so he had to pull Brother Wen Yu and Brother Shouming to the top, haha. Brother Zifan was good, and he was relaxed, but it was bitter for them. ”

Everyone teased Li Chaochen again in laughter.

While he was smiling, the door of the box was pushed open again, and a woman about twenty years old, dressed in cloth and wearing no hairpin ring, appeared at the door.

When Sun Jin saw it, he immediately stood up, stepped forward and hugged his fists and smiled: "Miss Furui, you are here." ”

The other people in the box also stood up and asked with a smile, "Brother Yutai, who is this?" ”

Sun Jin introduced: "Her name is Zheng Furui, and she was a playmate of the inner family when she was young, and later she went to the capital with her family and lost contact. This time, it was because I went to Beijing to catch the exam, and my wife entrusted her to take care of me, so I got in touch. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at this ordinary-looking girl with some surprise.

If you want to say that women are generally jealous, although this hibiscus is not beautiful, it is also beautiful. What's more, she is still dressed as a girl who has not been out of the cabinet. How could such an unmarried woman Yunying be, Sun Jin's wife would be so relieved, and she made a special trip to entrust her to take care of her husband who was away from home.

After a greeting and greeting, this Fleur girl has a faint expression. She pushed the door open, but she didn't step a step into it. Just stood by the door, said a few words to Sun Jin, handed over a brocade box, bowed, and left. I didn't even glance at everyone in the room.

Cui Yin smiled, glanced at Li Chaochen, and said, "I opened my eyes today, it turns out that there are also women who are not moved by Brother Zifan." ”

Li Chaochen was speechless, and could only laugh dryly.

Sun Jin closed the door, walked back to the table with the brocade box in his hand and sat down, and said with a smile: "Brothers, don't laugh, this Fuyuan girl's temperament is like this." At first, I was not used to it, but after a long time, I got used to it. Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of you laughing, when I was still living in Qingshi Lane, Brother Wen Yu saw this Furui girl, and officially accosted him. But the Fleur girl had never looked at him squarely. Brother Wen Yu's appearance is not much worse than Brother Zifan, haha, Miss Furui is not like she didn't see it. Therefore, Brother Zifan does not need to be sad, and you do not need to be surprised. It's all this Fleur girl, haha. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then nodded with a smile, thinking in their hearts: I see, this Fleur girl is such a character, and finally knows why Sun Jin's wife is so relieved to ask her to take care of her husband.

Li Chaochen squinted his eyes, his gaze still stayed on the door of the side room that had been closed: "This Fleur girl is not like an ordinary woman." ”

Sun Jin nodded: "Yes, although I don't know her specific origin, but the insider once said when she came that this Fuyuan girl has some doors in the capital, and the road is not shallow." And although she is a daughter, she is proficient in civil and military affairs. Especially in martial arts, she is extremely extraordinary. Solving seven or eight big men is just a gesture for her. ”

The Jinshi were shocked when they heard this, and they didn't want this woman to look like an ordinary woman, but she had such skills, and they were all surprised. Only Li Chaochen smiled lightly and said nothing, and a pair of pupils fell into the brocade box in Sun Jin's hand intentionally or unintentionally.

The sun was setting, the sky was starting to get dark, and everything was calm. It's just that the wind is blowing a little unnaturally.

It was past the time of application, Li Chaochen rode a white horse alone, on the way back to Hanlin Academy.

The road was quiet, there was not a single pedestrian, he was half-covered with his face, his head raised high, and he looked at the sky that had been paved with red light.

The wind blows really unnaturally.

"That Zheng Furui, you'd better check it out. Li Chaochen said to the sky.

"Zheng Furui?" a voice floated through the air, a little hoarse, and a little more light-hearted.

"There is a connection with Sun Jin in the capital, his wife's childhood friend, a woman about twenty years old with an ordinary appearance. ”

"Okay, got it. The light tone of the low promise, no one has ever seen the appearance, but before the words of this promise fell, the voice had drifted away.

Li Chaochen's head was still held high, looking at the sky that had been dyed red, and he let the white horse kick forward.

The wind finally blew a little naturally, and Li Chaochen smiled unconsciously.

He actually didn't have any reason to go back to Hanlin Courtyard, but he just walked out of the restaurant and unnaturally walked on this most remote path.

I won't go back to my residence tonight, so let's spend the night in the lounge of Hallym Temple.

Thinking so, Li Chaochen finally lowered his head and looked forward, and the word Hanlin with gold lacquer and jade pen appeared in front of him.

Li Chaochen turned over and dismounted, pulling the horse into the door through the corner.

A subordinate dressed as an attendant stepped forward, took the horse stiff rope, and asked with a smiling face, "Lord Li is going to spend the night in the Hanlin Courtyard today?"

Li Chaochen nodded: "I want to check some information." ”

The subordinate bent down: "The adult has worked hard, it's really ashamed, and at first the villain also thought like outsiders, thinking that the adult was fame by hue." But now I know that adults have real talent and real learning, and they rely on real skills. ”

Li Chaochen smiled: "You are also wrong." In this world, there are actually a lot of people with real skills, just in the New Year, there are many people who have more ability than me, but I am the only Li Chaochen who has won the favor of the emperor, which is actually not the hue that depends on it. ”

The subordinate was accompanied by a smile: "The adult is too modest." As he spoke, he bowed and led the white horse to the stable.

Li Chaochen pouted and smiled, walked inside, turned a corner, and the classic Wenge appeared in front of him. He stretched his waist and took a step, just about to move on. The subordinate who had just led the white horse chased after him, and shouted loudly as he ran: "Lord Li, hurry, hurry, there is a decree from the palace." ”

Li Chaochen was stunned for a moment, and looked back: "Who announced the decree?"

The servant replied: "Lord Hui, it is Gonggong Su who is with the emperor." (To be continued.) )
