Huan all got the reward, and the expression of getting into the carriage outside the gate was very different from when he came, although it was only a vacant position like the prince Xian Ma, but after all, it was given by the emperor himself, and it was a noble rank compared with the seven-grade officials selected by the other inspection system. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info sat in the carriage, Huan looked at the crowd coming and going on the street, remembering that he was depressed and hungry in this crowd before, and he was reluctant to eat even a meal, and the cry he suffered from all the way to Jianye was repeated in front of his eyes like a picture scroll, and at the end, the corner of his mouth actually raised a smile, and muttered to himself: "I Huan Ji, it is the Huan Ji who will descend to the Si people!"

And returned to the Nanling Palace, the servants waiting at the door were even more attentive to him, stammering to help him get out of the carriage, handing him a towel to wipe his hands, it turned out that the news was faster than the spring breeze, Huan Duren had not returned, and the news that he was given by the emperor had spread far and wide, and he arrived at the prince's mansion one step ahead of him. Walking all the way in the house, no one stopped to salute when they saw Huan, and shouted in the middle: "I've seen Huan Xian Ma." Huan Du did not feel the slightest discomfort or guilt in the face of this sudden change of glory, and the more respectful the servants and maids saluted, the more satisfied he felt, and the louder the shout of "Huan Xian Ma", the more proud he felt.

Huan Jicai went back to the wing room to rest, and a servant came outside the door, and said with a smile on his face: "I've seen Huan Xian Ma, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Huan used to only be a doorman's lunch with a unified system, and the daily meals were arranged by the stove room, but now the scenery is beautiful, and even this lunch can be ordered, so he asked: "What is there in the stove room?"

"There are all kinds of ordinary delicacies from the mountains and seas, but with the opening of the horse, the stove can be cooked, and the other ...... Nanguo sent a few peacocks, do you want to taste this game?"

Huan Jie's eyes widened and asked, "Can peacocks be eaten too?"

"It's a white peacock, it's extremely precious, and it must taste fat. The servant laughed back.

"Well, I'll ask for a white peacock to roast and eat. Hurry up, you're hungry!"

The servant smiled and retreated, Huan was bored waiting for the meal, so he read the book in the side room again, and after reading for a long time, he suddenly felt that there was something unusual in the afterglow, and when he turned his head, he saw Cheng Ji standing at the door, and he didn't make a sound, just staring at Huan Ji expressionlessly.

"Startle me, become a steward, what kind of ghost should I be, why don't you call me when you come? ”

A peaceful smile immediately appeared on Cheng Ji's face, and he said, "The old servant is afraid of disturbing Huan Xian Ma's Yaxing." ”

Huan all saw Cheng Ji's serious appearance, and also felt that Fang Cai was a little presumptuous in speaking, thinking that Vanity Fair people always had to be polite, so he got up and saluted: "Where is the Cheng Steward, Cheng Steward is his own family, and he is Huan's cronies, if it weren't for Cheng Steward's teaching to Huan a few days ago, my Huan would not have today's brilliance." ”

"Huan Xian Ma is too humble. Huan Xian Ma won the emperor's reward because of Xian Ma's ability, and the prince's mansion was also stained for this. Cheng Ji said slowly, "Huan Xian Ma, the old servant came just to pass a word for the prince, and the prince promoted Xian Ma to a second-class guest, and the salary and treatment were also handled according to the second-class guests." ”

Huan was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed back: "Thank you for the reward!"

Cheng Ji stepped forward to help him up, and whispered closely: "The prince appreciates Xian Ma so much, not only takes Xian Ma into the palace to face the saint, but also invites officials for Xian Ma, the prince is not so careful to cultivate everyone, Xian Ma has eaten the white peacock for lunch, or you need to go and thank the prince." ”

"Thank you Cheng for mentioning it!" Huan Jun laughed excitedly, completely ignoring the intention of the "white peacock" mentioned in Cheng Ji's words, and only hurriedly asked Cheng Ji, "Huan will go later!"

Along the way, he still lingered in his mouth with the fishy smell of the white peacock, and called three strong tea to rinse his mouth and lingered, not to mention the smell of the white peacock, the meat is still thick and hard to chew, older than the goose meat that has been stewed for a long time, but since it is ordered, it is such a rare thing, and it is impossible to say that it is not to eat, Huan has to swallow these fishy meats hard, and at the moment the abdomen is quite cumbersome.

He walked to the front of Sima Xi's study, Cheng Ji stayed outside the door as usual, Huan all exchanged a few words with Cheng Ji, and then asked Cheng Ji to take himself into the house after passing on, in the afternoon when the sun was at its strongest, the palace of the prince was very cool, there were not many palm lights, empty and quiet, the prince was still sitting in front of the desk as usual, drinking tea and reading words, and the incense burner on the case was full of smoke.

"I've seen the prince. "Huan is all saluting like the old way.

"Sit down. ”

The maid listened to the order and helped Huan Jie set up the cushion, but Huan Jie didn't go over, only bowed a few feet in front of the prince's case, and said: "Huan is grateful to the prince for cultivating, and he is reborn with his parents, please accept Huan's worship." ”

Sima Xi was drinking tea, but he was slightly surprised, this surprise was hidden with joy, so he raised his eyebrows to glance at Cheng Ji beside him, only to see Cheng Ji looking at Huan Ji with a smile, Sima Xi immediately understood the reason, and said with a smile: "Get up and sit down." ”

Sima Xi said: "Let's talk about the matter of the noon emperor's entrustment of the word appreciation conference, needless to say, the supply specifications are not to mention, there have been a lot of things in this house in the past, and it is okay to come according to the routine, but only the people who participated, according to Huan Xian Ma's opinion, who is good?"

"Since the emperor is the leader, the Wang Xie family will definitely come!"

Sima Xi stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "This king also thinks so, such a scene, how can you not ask the king Xie Erjia to take a good look at the majesty of your Huan Xian horse." ”

Huan Du heard that Sima Xi was laughing at him for pretending to be public and private, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and even said: "Everyone in the world says that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is good, I want to use this to open the eyes of the world, and I Huan Du is not a thing in the pool!"

Sima Xi has always been domineering in front of people, but today he saw someone who was more arrogant than when he was young, he did not express his position, only said: "Although the Wang Xie family must be invited, but the emperor is a young person after all, this banquet is also a matter of entertainment for these words and words, according to the king, just invite the young people in the princely family, those Xie An and Wang Dao are here, and the elders and juniors present will inevitably be a little restrained, and there is no need to call to sweep the emperor." ”

"The prince said very much. ”

"Although the banquet is organized with this government, but I want to come to the emperor just to borrow a place to have fun, and this king and the young generation are also incompatible with the same seat. ”

Huan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said goodbye: "Huan must properly handle this banquet and never disappoint the expectations of the prince!"

Sima Xi bowed his head and said: "In this case, if this king wants to come, go to Wuyi Lane to deliver the invitation, and Huan Xian Ma is also happy?"

"Of course!" Huan Jun got up and arched his hand, "Huan Mou thanked the prince!" Huan Jun has been waiting for this opportunity to boast for a long time.

After Huan Jun left, Sima Xi changed his cup of tea and read the book, and after a long time, he said while reading: "Chengji, you are becoming more and more good at disciplining people." ”

"The old servant is not talented, he only tries his best to share the worries of the prince as much as possible. ”

Sima Xi said: "Huan is indeed a person with a flamboyant temperament, his arrogance can be used by us, but it is also a bane, you still need to discipline more." ”

"Yes, the old servant obeys. In the end, the prince was still wise, and he took a white peacock to test him, and if he was really ashamed, he was going to come to eat. ”

"Already mentioned?"

"I mentioned it, but ...... He seemed to be still immersed in the joy of giving the officer, and the old servant thought that he would calm down after a while. ”

Sima Xi's eyes were still staring at the book, and he only sneered: "He just got a seven-rank false official, so he really thinks he is a character, and it is also interesting." Chengji, you must keep an eye on him, don't let him have extraneous branches and ruin our banquet plan. ”

"Yes, my lord. Cheng Ji bowed and said, "By the way, regarding the layout of the banquet, 'that person' has been waiting for the prince in the side hall for a long time." ”

With a "snap", Sima Xi closed the book with his palm, his eagle eyes shot out an old and spicy deep light into the distance, and the corners of his lips were hidden in the frost-stained Xu Ran, which was imperceptible, and said, "Okay." Please come in. ”
