Standing at the mouth of the alley, you can see the wall at the end of the alley, not that the smoke willow alley is too small, but the alley is too big and too spacious, so that the flow of people is bustling, but it still does not feel crowded.

Even if there are green buildings in ordinary towns, there are only one or two small facades, but the fireworks alley in Fancheng is famous in the entire Ruzhou capital.

It's not surprising that the wealthy would be here.

The prosperity of Fancheng is also closely related to this.

And Xu Changzong, who is the Taishou of Fancheng, has also become a celebrity in the officialdom of Ruzhou, but what makes people surprised and unwilling to believe it is that he thought that it was a lewd-looking man who came up with such an indecent method, but he never thought that he was actually a graceful and elegant Confucian student.

However, looking at Fancheng's unique fireworks alley, it is indeed the word elegance.

At that time, Xu Changzong had just returned home, and the mansion without a hostess was still well maintained, naturally thanks to the white-shirted woman beside his daughter.

Her name was, Mo.

The origin is unknown, the age is unknown, and there is a scar on the beautiful face, so the woman will cover it with bangs, but the timid daughter is not afraid of the scar on the woman's face, but has a natural closeness to the woman.

Xu Changzong walked to his daughter's side with a smile, and as soon as he showed the osmanthus candy in his hand, the little girl jumped up excitedly and said, "Daddy, daddy, is it osmanthus candy?"

Xu Changzong smiled and said, "Are you naughty today?"

The girl shook her head and said, "No." ”

Xu Changzong looked at her deliberately, and the girl said a little anxiously, "I don't believe that my father asked Aunt Mo." ”

Xu Changzong looked at the woman next to him, who curtscurttily and said with a smile, "Miss is very well-behaved today, she has read and written, and the slave maid allowed her to play in the yard." ”

Xu Changzong nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The woman named Mo smiled quietly, and she was a little naïve, "The adult is serious, the young lady has always been a well-behaved child, and it is the adults who work hard, the food in the house has been prepared, and the slave and maid will urge it." ”

Xu Changzong nodded and smiled as the woman turned to leave.

The girl on the side held the osmanthus candy in both hands, looked up at her handsome father beside her, her big eyes blinked, full of doubts.

Xu Changzong retracted his gaze, looked at the little daughter beside him, and said with a gentle smile, "What does Jiao'er want to say?"

Xu Jiao's immature voice said, "Does Daddy want Aunt Mo to be his mother." ”

Xu Changzong was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but smile and said, "Silly girl, who told you these words?"

Xu Jiao said innocently, "I see that other people's fathers all look at their mothers like this, and even the brother of the prince's family also looks at his sister-in-law like this." ”

Xu Changzong was dumbfounded, picked up the little daughter on the ground, and said, "Does that Jiao'er like it?"

Xu Changzong didn't say what he liked, and the youngest daughter just nodded.

Xu Changzong said, "Do you like Aunt Mo or do you like Aunt Mo to be your mother?"

The youngest daughter said without thinking, "I like them all." ”

Xu Changzong smiled, "How much do you like it?"

The youngest daughter thought about it, raised the osmanthus candy in her hand, and said, "It's like liking osmanthus candy." ”

Xu Changzong was slightly stunned, and then laughed out loud, the little daughter in his arms didn't know why, so he couldn't help but pout, and muttered, "Originally, Jiao'er likes osmanthus candy the most." Doesn't Daddy like Aunt Mo too?"

Xu Changzong shook his head with a smile, and suddenly looked behind the tree in the distance, and a touch of white clothes disappeared in a hurry.

Xu Changzong smiled slightly, remembering what he had said to the woman, but the man rejected him.

Even so, it's not good to be reluctant.

Yandu Li Mansion

Li Xiangqing, who is on duty in the cabinet on weekdays, has been working from home for several days in a row for the first time.

The officials who came in and out carried heavy papers, although they were sweating profusely, they didn't dare to complain.

As soon as Han Wenyan entered the door, he bumped into someone, fortunately, this is the Li Mansion, and he has to see that the owner's scolding words are not spoken, but after seeing that the person is Mingxing, he couldn't help but wonder, "Mingxing, what are you doing in a hurry?"

Mingxing said apologetically, "I offended Lord Han, the villain just got the order of the Prime Minister to go to the Yandu Mansion to do something, and he left in a hurry, please forgive Lord Han." ”

Han Wenyan waved his hand, "It's not okay to offend, it's just that no matter how anxious you are, you have to look at the road, what should I do if I go out and crash into a car?"

Mingxing reluctantly smiled, "That's what the adults said." ”

Han Wenyan saw that he was preoccupied, and he didn't say much, but said, "Go quickly, be careful on the road." ”

Mingxing arched his hand and said, "Lord Xie, please inside, my grandfather is working in the study, and the villain has something to do, so he can't lead the way for the adult." ”

Han Wenyan smiled, "Go quickly, I remember the way." ”

Mingxing just left, but gave the young porter on the side a look.

Han Wenyan is a frequent visitor to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he can't use the report, but the guide always wants it, and the porter received Mingxing's instructions, and immediately understood, leading Han Wenyan to the outside of the study.

At that time, the door of the study was closed, and the sound of sighing could be faintly heard inside.

There was a knock on the door, and there was a sound from inside, "Say." ”

The porter said, "Master, Lord Han is visiting, just outside the door." ”

"Come in. ”

After getting permission, the concierge pushed open the door, Han Wenyan walked in, the concierge was just about to bring the door, and heard Li Xiangqing say, "There is no need to close the door, there will be an official messenger in a while, just let them come in and get the official document directly." ”

The porter replied again and again, and then left.

Han Wenyan looked at the official documents in one place, walked to the opposite side of Li Xiangqing with an empty space, and then sat on an unfinished volume of official documents.

Li Xiangqing glanced at him resentfully, Han Wenyan smiled, and said, "Make the best use of things, make the best use of things." ”

Li Xiangqing snorted and said, "Only you, Han Wenyan, dare to sit on the official document in my study." ”

While talking to Han Wenyan, the red pen in his hand had already approved a red letter on the official document.

Han Wenyan smiled, "You have moved all the files of the Ministry of Officials to your home?"

Li Xiangqing let out a "hmm", and then stretched out his hand to the opposite side. Han Wenyan was stunned, then reacted, took a stack of files aside, and took down what he had approved.

Li Xiangqing continued to approve the official documents, waiting for Han Wenyan to sit down again, and said without looking at him, "How is the school over there?"

Han Wenyan said, "Fortunately, the academy, after all, it is a holy land, those people don't dare to come nonsense, no matter how to say that there are people in the Fengbo Pavilion, how to say it." ”

Han Wenyan thought for a while, and Li Xiangqing urged, "If you have something to say, when will you hide it." ”

Han Wenyan sighed, "I didn't expect those people to be really decent, I thought that the Xiyue clan was a barbarian, but I didn't expect that although the manners and etiquette are different, they are generally decent, and even some people are more interested in our culture than ourselves. ”

As he spoke, he muttered to himself, "I heard that there is such a Confucian saint, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”

When Li Xiangqing heard it, he frowned slightly, and said, "Reading is for reason, no matter how bad Baguwen is, it is also the basis of the article, books are dead, and people are alive." There are a lot of people who have read the book, but they just go to see what people are doing, and they don't look at those people who are monsters who have lived for hundreds of years. ”

Han Wenyan didn't expect it to be how old he lived, thought about it, and said softly, "It's one thing to live for hundreds of years and see a lot, it's another thing to have an understanding or not." Alas, when teaching and educating people, what I am most afraid of is misleading people's children. ”

Li Xiangqing didn't say much, just reviewed the documents under his hand.

Since that day, Lingyun has flown a butterfly kite in the house, Li Xiangqing has been working at home, he can live with many people in his life, but he can't live with this infatuated woman.

I thought it would be nice to be able to spend more time with that woman.

It's just that I never thought that the documents of the Ministry of Officials have been going on for a long time these days, and they are all chaotic in various places.

What an eventful time.

Han Wenyan didn't know what Li Xiangqing was thinking, but he also knew about the lady in this mansion, and he didn't have much to say about that master, but had an indescribable disgust.

Maybe it's because the woman is too smart, too thoughtful and complete. That's why it ended up like this.

Thinking about it, Han Wenyan sighed and said, "You asked Mingxing to find Yandu Ling, but for the sake of the chaos in the south? ”

Li Xiangqing put down the red pen in his hand, gently pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's almost time to conquer Suzhou Mansion, I want Qingyi to go, he has been on that side before." Although Mu Nianzhi is a feudal official, he may not be able to stop the overwhelming Taiping army. ”

Han Wenyan frowned and hesitated, "Can that one agree? Yan Duling is your person, so the situation in the imperial court will not be on the side." ”

Li Xiangqing rubbed the bridge of his nose and said with a wry smile, "So, it's a pity that the soldiers of Dongyang don't die a lot, and that one won't agree." ”

Han Wenyan was a little helpless, but this is an indisputable fact.

Immediately, there was a hint of mockery at the corner of his lips, and he sneered, "I really don't know what else to intrigue about now, it's already this kind of mountain rain and shaky appearance, and it's worth calculating!"

Li Xiangqing opened his eyes and looked at the man, and then said with a smile, "Coincidentally, Mu Nianzhi also thinks of us like this." ”

Han Wenyan lost his voice, and no matter how much resentment he felt in his heart, he finally endured it.

Not long after, the clear sky outside was covered with dark clouds, and the light rain suddenly blew in from the window, Han Wenyan just stood up, someone had already taken the first step to block the window, and then only heard a long breathing, and then raised his eyes to see the man who was already one person and ten thousand people looked at the scroll by the window worriedly, carefully picked up a few wet books, put them on the windowsill, and spread them out.

Han Wenyan opened his mouth and watched the man gently wipe the drenched scroll with the sleeve of expensive clothes, as if it was those editors and scholars in the Hanlin Academy, and his eyes were cautious.

The ink on the table penetrated his nose because of the smell of the closed window, Han Wenyan came back to his senses and said softly, "Suzhou and Ruzhou are quite close, and I don't know what happened to that girl." ”

Li Xiangqing's hand paused slightly, and then said, "Even if she is in the midst of ten thousand armies, she can protect her own safety." ”

Han Wenyan smiled, but he was a little bitter, and he didn't speak, but just said in his heart, "I'm afraid it's because of this, so you don't make people remember." ”

However, what Han Wenyan didn't expect was that the man said again, "Don't tell me about her in the future, you can mention official matters." ”

Han Wenyan was dumbfounded, looked at him in a daze, saw him turn around, and explained calmly, "Li Xiangqing has only one lady from beginning to end. ”

Han Wenyan was stunned for a moment, but he understood everything.

As a man, he no longer understands what Li Xiangqing's mood is at this moment, and since he has already decided something, he will never drag it out.

The resoluteness in his eyes made Han Wenyan, who went out, couldn't help but shudder, and said softly, "It's so cold." ”

A new style of school

Dark clouds obscured the sun, raindrops soaked the soil, black boots stepped on the raindrops on the grass, and the young students' eyes were full of tenderness.

Gently looked at the butterfly in the palm of his hand, his wings wet with water.

"It's just a butterfly, what are you looking at?"

Li Qing's non-standard dialect, hearing the woman's voice, Zhang Fuzhi recognized that the woman was not Li Qing's local woman.

With curly blond hair as dazzling as the sun, blue eyes like the color of the sea, and fair skin like snow in winter, he remembered her name, Eri Sakura.

As her name suggests, she is also a beautiful girl, always with a gentle smile, and a shining star in the crowd.

Zhang Fuzhi's eyes lit up in an instant, but he carefully hid it, looked at the butterfly in his hand, and said softly, "Breaking the cocoon into a butterfly, it has experienced a long time of pain before it can soar in the sky, and it is beautiful because of this." ”

The loss in Zhang Fuzhi's eyes fell on Eri Sakura's eyes, and the latter smiled and said, "You will too." ”

Zhang Fuzhi looked at her, puzzled, surprised, worried, surprised, and saw the girl say again, "One day you will be like this butterfly, breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly, I believe that day will not be far away." ”

Zhang Fuzhi was excited for a moment, but then he sighed and said, "But...... I don't have the talent to match many people, whether it's writing or doing things. ”

As he spoke, he didn't know what he remembered, but suddenly he became firm and said, "But I still want to try to do one thing well, as long as one thing." ”

Eri Sakura wondered, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Fuzhi looked at the girl beside him, opened his mouth, as if he had made up his mind, and said loudly, "To revive the Li country, as long as I can contribute to the revitalization, it will be good, as long as there is that day, I Zhang Fuzhi will give everything." ”

Eri Sakura was slightly stunned, maybe the boy that day didn't know, because the sound of the rain gradually became louder, the other classmates didn't hear it, didn't see it, the persistence in the young man's eyes was enough to light up the darkness he was in.

Eri Sakura didn't take the boy's words as arrogant, but said equally seriously, "Yes, there will be a day." I'll always be watching you. ”

Zhang Fuzhi was stunned, as if he didn't expect it.
