Qin Jin, who was carrying a pen and didn't know how to be good, also heard the coughing sound behind the screen in the main hall, and he could vaguely recognize that it should be from the mouth of a woman. But seeing Pei Jizhi, who usually always wore a cynical look on his face, at this time he changed to a strange look that was half embarrassed and half weak-hearted.

At this point, Qin Jin completely lost his patience, he was unwilling to tell the story with these idle noble relatives, but now seeing that Pei Jizhi's actions were so unreliable, he already had the idea of leaving. Suddenly, his heart moved, and the pen in his hand wrote two paragraphs on the paper in front of him.

After writing, he abandoned the pen, got up, and said to Pei Jizhi: "The trivial matters in the army are cumbersome, Qin will go first!"

When he said this, he was already angry, and he was specially called by a prodigal to ridicule and play tricks, so he couldn't laugh with good words, right? Qin Jin asked himself if he couldn't do this, and he didn't want to do it.

"Hey, this banquet has just begun, why did Zhonglang ......leave?"

Where did Qin Jin pay attention to Pei Jizhi's call, and strode away from the table with his head held high.

Yan Wei, who was accompanying the guests, rubbed his hands again and again, his face showed urgency, but he didn't know how to deal with it. Wei Ji Shi Shi got up and waved at Pei Ji.

"Brother Pei doesn't have to worry, wait for Brother Pei to send a Zhonglang general. ”

At this time, Pei Jizhi's face changed, and he couldn't stop saying:

"So, so Brother Lauwei, don't make Zhonglang hold a grudge against me......"

Wei Ji smiled lightly.

"Zhonglang will have a mind, how can he have a grudge with others because of the discord at the banquet? Brother Pei doesn't have to worry!"

"That's good, that's good. ”

Pei Jizhi was skeptical, and when he saw that Wei Ji was so sure, he was a little relieved.

Wei Ji left with Qin Jin before and after, and a wine banquet broke up unhappily, Yan Wei felt that it was no longer appropriate to sit down, and he also got up to say goodbye.

In the blink of an eye, Pei Ji was the only one left in the meeting room that was still very lively.

After being stunned for a moment, he said in a complaining tone to the screen: "Mother said that she didn't know what to say, why did she scare the child halfway?"

But what came from behind the screen was the voice of Princess Huo.

"No, Xiaozi, did you set up a banquet to thank your benefactor like this? If I hadn't reminded you, wouldn't I have made Qin Jin make a fool of himself in public? If you have a grudge because of this, how can you recruit him as the insect lady's concubine?"

Pei Jizhi is still vibrant.

"Wei Ji is right, if Qin Jin has a grudge with his life because of this little thing the size of a sesame mung bean, how can he be worthy of being the horse of the insect mother? Besides, his mother doesn't know that he can't make poems?

These words reminded the eldest princess of Huo Guo, she was also preconceived, thinking that Qin Jin was born as a martial artist, and the world generally ignored Qin Jin's Jinshi background, not to mention that there were rumors in the market that Qin Jin's Jinshi background was just made up by outsiders.

"So, Qin Jin is really a Jinshi and the first?"

Pei Jizhi saw that his mother was suspicious of what he said, and she was no longer as aggressive as before, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"How can there be a vacation, the child has not been wandering around all day for three days, and he has already investigated Qin Jin's details clearly. Speaking of which, it's half a famous family!"

The eldest princess of Huo Guo turned out from behind the screen and said strangely:

"A famous family is a famous family, why is it half a famous family?"

Pei Ji came to help his mother sit down on the main seat, and then replied quite proudly:

"It's unbelievable to say it, this Qin Jin is a person from Qizhou, and he is of the same clan as the Duke of Hu, and his ancestors are brothers of the same birth as the Duke of Hu......"

The eldest princess of Huo narrowed her eyes, Qin Qiong, the Duke of Hu, was the founder of the country, and after his death, he was hung on the Lingyan Pavilion by the portrait of Emperor Taizongwen for future generations to admire. Unexpectedly, this Qin Jin actually has a lot of connections with Hu Guogong.

But in this way, everything will be logical, and after the gate, there should be such martial arts.

After Pei Jizhi helped his mother sit down, he was not idle, but came to the case of Qin Jin abandoning his pen, and looked curiously at the words written by Qin Jin.

"Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are ...... in the smoke and rain"

The text is simple, but when read carefully, it is reverie.

Pei Jizhi read it out casually, and after hearing this, the eldest princess of the Huo Kingdom asked in surprise:

"This is from the hand of that Qin Jin?"

Pei Jizhi nodded yes.

Princess Huo sighed.

"I can't think of it, I can't think of it, it's really a civil and military all-rounder. ”

As soon as the words came out, Princess Huo seemed to realize that something was wrong.

"Don't spread my words and get into trouble. ”

The advice of the eldest princess of the Huo country is not sensational, if these words are spread to the ears of the Son of Heaven by someone with a heart, not only Qin Jin's future will be hit hard, but even their family may be affected.

Pei Jizhi smiled nonchalantly: "Mother also underestimates children, what to say and what not to say, she has her own measure." ”

The eldest princess of Huo Guo couldn't see her son's indifferent attitude, so she deliberately reprimanded: "There is measure, why do you leave the table angrily with Qin Jin's ridicule?"

Sure enough, Pei Jizhi's face immediately felt a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help waving his hand and said:

"Child, child didn't expect that Zhonglang would be unable to help but joke...... On weekdays, children and three or five friends are also joking, and no one has ever been angry......"

Seeing her son looking a little apprehensive and confused, Princess Huo felt powerless, and asked herself how she gave birth to such a stupid son like a pig.

"Your fox friends and dog friends are counting on you to stammer, even if you beat and scold at every turn, you will be willing, which can be compared with Zhonglang General?"

The eldest princess of Huo Guo was counted, and Pei Jizhi finally lowered his head like a defeated rooster. Her gaze fell on the remnants of Qin Jin's writing again, and an indescribable feeling rose in her heart.

The text seems to be written about a Buddhist temple, but it makes people suddenly realize that everything will eventually return to dust. The Zen rush to her heart made her hard to believe that such a coincidental poem was written by a young man.

After thinking about it for a while, the eldest princess of Huo Guo was so steep that she suddenly realized that the world of the Tang Dynasty was not the same as the temples and temples of the Southern Dynasty, there was a glorious moment, but there was a day of decline and annihilation, and then thinking of the situation of internal and external difficulties in the imperial court, her chest was like a boulder, which made people breathless.

"Mother, mother, what are you thinking?"

Pei Jizhi's voice pulled the eldest princess of the Huo Kingdom back from her chaotic thoughts.

"Today is not in vain, tomorrow I will enter the palace to see the Son of Heaven. ”

"Mother thinks that Qin Jin can be a concubine?"

……

Wei Ji caught up with Qin Jin and invited him to go with him.

Qin Jin had a good impression of Wei Ji, and seeing that he was so attentive, he also happily boarded his carriage, and the four heavily armed retinues followed closely as they had come.

Seeing this, Wei Ji couldn't help but secretly speak, only a general with military power in his hands could have such power.

Based on Qin Jin's opinion of Wei Ji, this person is indeed a good material for an official in the court, not only has a frank side to treat people, but also has a delicate and clear heart.

"During the banquet, I heard that Brother Wei seems to have quite an opinion on the current situation, I wonder if he is willing to give him some advice?"

Qin Jin wanted to hear the views of an official from a famous family like Wei Ji on the current situation.

Wei Ji didn't seem to be very interested in this topic, but since Qin Jin asked, he said a few words concisely.

Most people in the DPRK and China are more optimistic, but Wei feels that underneath the optimism lies a crisis, and if it is not taken seriously, the consequences may be unpredictable. ”

This kind of judgment coincides with Qin Jin's cognition, it seems that there are still sober people in the court, why can't the Son of Heaven and the prime ministers of the political hall see this?

But I heard Wei Ji say again:

"It's not that I'm not unaware of the crisis, but it's a pity that there are many constraints, and many things are difficult for the Son of Heaven to ,......."

Speaking of this, Qin Jin also had to be moved, Wei Ji said very frankly, if this kind of thing were changed to others, he would definitely not say it to the living person he just met, but Wei Ji just said it.

And Qin Jin also has gains, before he wishfully thought that the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister were too optimistic and couldn't see through the hidden worries, but now that he thinks about it, the center of the empire is too huge, and under the strong inertia, how can he pull down the gate and brake the rolling forward body?

While laughing, the driver suddenly stopped the carriage.

Wei Ji asked with a displeased face:

"Why park?"

The rider replied respectfully:

"The head of the family, it turned out that Pingkangfang had arrived, and someone stopped in front of the car, saying that it was the old man who asked to see him. ”

Wei Ji's home is in Pingkangfang, and it is not uncommon to meet the visiting old man here, Qin Jin snapped Wei Ji was embarrassed, so he said:

"Since it's an old man, why don't you see it?"

Wei Ji smiled calmly: "As General Zhonglang said, please wait for a while." ”

After that, Wei Ji got out of the carriage, but across the carriage, Qin Jin heard him scolding the servants, and he opened the curtain and looked over under curiosity.

I saw a middle-aged man in shabby clothes stumbling to the ground in front of the carriage. After Wei Ji scolded the servant, he also took a few steps forward and helped the middle-aged man up with both hands.

"Brother Zimei has been saying goodbye for many years, and I don't want to meet here. ”

The middle-aged man straightened up at this time, but saw that he described him as haggard and had protruding cheekbones, which was obviously caused by the embarrassment of life.

And Wei Ji did not pretend to treat him because the other party looked down, but reminisced with him very sincerely.

Qin Jin couldn't hear what the middleman said, but Wei Ji's voice was not low.

"With the talent of Brother Zimei, I will never be so depressed for a long time, and I should wait for the opportunity and not think of ups and downs. ”

Then, Wei Ji said apologetically: "Just talking, Brother Zimei will enter the house first, I will send the guests in the car back first, and I will drink and talk with Brother Zimei when I come back, okay?"

But when he saw the middle-aged man, he nodded again, obviously following Wei Ji's arrangement.

However, Qin Jin frowned at Wei Ji's words, if the words of the long and depressed were said when no one was close to him, he would naturally speak seriously and be quite affectionate, but now that he was in public, wouldn't it only increase the embarrassment of the other party?

At this point, Qin Jin's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly thought of who this Zimei was.
