Chapter 134
It turned out that in the previous Chunqiu, Ling Jue bypassed Xiao Tang, the chief examiner, but deliberately submitted poems to Ying Lanfeng to show his respect, everyone was a little surprised, and they wondered why he let the Tang family, an excellent backer, not want it, but to worship a Ying Lanfeng who had no foundation, wouldn't he be willing to seek the near and far?
Although Xiao Tang Xin was also a little surprised, he didn't take it to heart, after all, he had a young heart, and he had his own feelings, or he had a soft spot for Lan style. Second, although the two families have been friends for generations, it is only because of Ling Jingshen's marriage to Lin *, if Ling Jue has a bad heart because of this, so he is only close to Ying Lanfeng, it makes sense.
Seeing that Ling Jue wanted to marry Emperor Cheng before, Xiao Tang smiled slightly, and when he saw Guo Jianyi come forward to intercept him, he was surprised, and he couldn't help but think of Guo Bailu's head, but although Ling Jue was young, he was not the kind of person who didn't know anything, and dared to compete with King Xi in court? But besides Guo Bailu, who else is close to Ling Jue?
In a flash of light, I thought of the golden flying squirrel. When there was no time to hesitate, he immediately got up and joined Guo Jianyi, talking and laughing, and blocked Ling Jue's unspoken words without a trace.
Just saw the two standing next to the apricot forest talking to each other, Xiao Tang took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, so he went around to the apricot forest, the dark shadow was horizontal, the apricot tree was standing, covering the figure, quietly, and sure enough, he understood.
It's just that he never imagined it, he thought that only Guo Jianyi was sincere in his heart, but now there is a Ling Jue...... Although this young man is young, he is so thoughtful, I am afraid that it is not between him and Guo Jianyi, and I don't know when he started to do so? But he has always hidden it and not revealing it, until today's high school, he approached Ying Lanfeng step by step, won his liking, and in front of Emperor Cheng, he bluntly rejected Princess Shang's suggestion, but said that he had someone in his heart, and he wanted to marry while Emperor Cheng was happy...... All of this, after thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that he has already planned it.
At this moment, he is so old, he is so painstakingly lonely, if it takes time, he is only afraid of ......
Seeing Xiao Tang standing at the edge of the forest, the palace people who were waiting couldn't help but come over and ask, and bowed their heads respectfully and said, "What do you have to tell Lord Tang?" ”
Xiao Tang came back to his senses, then nodded and said, "No need, I'll leave the palace too." So saying, he walked out as well.
Let's say that Xiao Tang stepped on the moon, only thought about it in his heart, and thought about Ling Jue, so he couldn't help but think of Huaizhen, but he didn't know what was in that girl's heart? Is there such a person?
Busy going through all the situations when I got along with her in the past, Xingxi didn't seem to have any deeds, but ...... My heart skipped two beats, and I only felt that some things seemed to make no sense: for example, because of the matter of Shangwutang, that day Minli and Huaizhen went to Lingfu to visit Ling Jue, and when they returned, Huaizhen told him the "story in the book".
Xiao Tang only felt that there seemed to be a fog in front of him, covering his face with his head and covering the sky, as if people couldn't see through it, and after the fog, there seemed to be a glimmer of light, looming, but he didn't know when he would be able to break through these obstacles and see the light of the sky.
Xiao Tang thought about it, the night in front of him seemed to be a little deeper, and before he knew it, he had already gone out of the palace gate, the night wind was blowing, Xiao Tang let out a long breath, and when he looked up, he was suddenly stunned.
But at the palace gate, a carriage was parked, Guo Jianyi helped Ling Jue forward, and a person came over by the side of the carriage and took Ling Jue over...... Dressed in black like an inky night, it was actually Ling Jingshen reads();.
At this moment, Ling Jingshen also saw Xiao Tang, so he nodded to him from afar, helped Ling Jue to get into the car, thanked Guo Jianyi, and the two of them went.
At this moment, the ministers who went to the banquet had almost gone, Xiao Tang stepped forward, Guo Jianyi turned his head to look at him, his eyes were opposite, Guo Jianyi said: "Why is Lord Tang so late?" ”
Xiao Tang smiled and said, "There was something delayed." Seeing that Guo Jianyi seemed to have something to say, he said: "Let's go, okay?" ”
Guo Jianyi nodded, because the two of them came on horseback, the little maid led the horses over, and then got on the horses separately and walked in a twist.
Both of them are human spirits, and although they worked together to stop Ling Jue, they tacitly never mentioned this matter at this moment.
Immediately, Guo Jianyi asked softly: "I heard that Lord Tang was promoted in front of the emperor and transferred to this household squire?" ”
Xiao Tang listened, raised his head and smiled, and said, "Don't dare, even if there is no recommendation from me, the emperor is also interested in Guo Shilang." After all, Guo Shilang is in the Ministry of Industry, and his achievements are outstanding, and there are already many old people who have praised you, if it weren't for Lord Ying's outstanding work in the south, I am afraid that the position of the Ministry of Industry would have fallen into the hands of Guo Shilang. ”
Guo Jianyi listened to these words, and only said solemnly: "Jianyi is mediocre in learning, no matter what position he holds, he is just conscientious, and he does not have any outstanding achievements, so he doesn't dare to want to be promoted, not to mention that he is now transferred to other departments, but he is afraid that if he is not handled properly, he will cause trouble." ”
Xiao Tang smiled: "Why be humble? Lingzu Guo Sinong had already managed the household department and the Ministry of Industry, wasn't he at ease? Now with Guo Shilang's talent, I am afraid that it is also like cooking a small fresh, not to mention that the emperor is a piece of imperial grace, and he trusts the heroes before entrusting them with important tasks, which is a piece of good intentions, and the adults only have to be loyal to them, and they will go down in history in the future. ”
These words, every sentence has the meaning of praise, if others listen to it, they are afraid that their hearts will bloom.
Guo Jianyi's face was slightly cold, looked at Xiao Tang and said with a smile: "It's just that when Zhou Shilang of the household department was convicted and imprisoned, I couldn't help but feel very difficult to let the official carry this burden, and the adults should also know that Zhou Shilang is the prince's lineage, and now the emperor has transferred me over, and instead of saying it, he also asked me to thoroughly investigate the deficit of the accounts of the household department, haven't I become a thorn in the prince's side?" ”
It turned out that Guo Bailu was going to marry King Xi as a concubine, and King Xi had always been jealous of both the prince and King Su...... Not to mention that the prince was secretly angry, even King Su was afraid that it was rare to gloat, but he was secretly vigilant.
Therefore, this messenger is really a hot potato, but I am afraid that the two parties will not please him, even if he has entered the household department now, it is also a multi-party elbow, and it is not easy to do things.
Guo Jianyi knows it, how can Xiao Tang not know the truth? However, he recommended it with all his strength in front of Emperor Cheng, and there were many good words, and Emperor Cheng really transferred Guo Jianyi from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of Households. It's just that why Xiao Tang is like this, but Guo Jianyi can't help but think deeply.
Xiao Tang listened to Guo Jianyi's words, his face was still smiling, he looked at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly said: "Lord Guo's insight is subtle and admirable, but he is loyal to the country, but he can't care about anything else, so he just moves forward." ”
This words are majestic, Guo Jianyi raised his eyebrows, and did not speak, the two let the horses go slowly, the night was silent, only the sound of the horse's hooves was heard, Xiao Tang was in a mood, and couldn't help but say: "The past was filthy and not enough to boast, and now the debauchery is endless, the spring breeze is proud, and the horses are sick, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." ”
Guo Jianyi couldn't help but smile and said, "Lord Tang is really interested. ”
Xiao Tang said: "I just feel it, the so-called 'future life is terrifying'." ”
The two looked at each other, and they both smiled for a long time, and naturally thought of Ling Jue reads();.
Immediately, Guo Jianyi turned his head and only sighed slightly, Xiao Tang pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Lord Guo is worried that the mission of the household department is not easy to handle?" ”
Guo Jianyi said: "What do you want to say?" ”
Xiao Tang smiled: "Actually, there is the easiest way...... I'm afraid that if I say it, Lord Guo will become more and more unhappy. ”
Guo Jianyi said lightly: "Would you like to hear it in detail? ”
Xiao Tang looked at him and said: "The prince is just unhappy that his people have been replaced by you, if Lord Guo also becomes the prince's person, the prince will naturally be appeased, and the envoy of the household department will of course be greatly convenient." ”
Guo Jianyi's eyebrows frowned slightly, just looking at Xiao Tang's eyes, knowing in his heart that he must have a text, I'm afraid it's not a good word.
Sure enough, I heard Xiao Tang say: "As far as I know, there is a county lord on the prince's knee, who is already at the age of Ji Xuan...... The prince is deliberately choosing a good son-in-law for her, with the character of Lord Guo, he is not afraid that he will not be able to enter the eyes of the prince and the county lord. ”
When Guo Jianyi heard this, he didn't laugh angrily, sneered a few times, and said: "Lord Tang is really exquisite, ice and snow are smart, such a good way...... I'm afraid I've thought of it before the election officer? ”
Xiao Tang Yun glanced at him lightly, and said with a smile: "Where do you say, I am a minister, but I am just thinking about being loyal to the country, I just feel that the position of the household servant must be Lord Guo, and the emperor naturally appreciates Lord Guo's talent and character very much, otherwise even if I nominate again, it will be useless." ”
While talking, the two arrived at a fork in the road, Guo Jianyi looked at Xiao Tang, and said lightly: "Lord Tang has worked hard, the official has received it, goodbye." ”
Xiao Tang raised his hand and said goodbye with a smile. The two went home separately and did not mention it.
Let's say that because tonight is the Qionglin banquet, although Ling Jingshen has now been promoted to the five-grade personal guard capital, he is still not allowed to enter, and he is worried that he will eat and drink, Ling will inevitably get drunk, he cares about his feelings, and he doesn't worry about the little servants waiting, so he personally waits outside the palace gate, and after a long time, he really saw Guo Jianyi helping Ling Jue out, and it was the same as he thought.
Ling Jingshen knew that Ling Jue was happy, so he didn't say anything, hugged him into the car, and went back to Ling's mansion.
Because he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, he took off his official hat and put it next to him, the light in the car was weak, but he saw that his original snow-colored face was flushed, obviously he was not lightly drunk, so he didn't bother, just told him to lie down and sleep, and took care of himself quietly next to him.
Halfway through this journey, because the carriage and horses were bumpy, Ling Jue woke up slightly, and said, "Don't stop me, you ...... Go away......" shouted a few times, coughed again, and his face turned red.
Ling Jingshen was afraid that he would vomit, so he picked him up, gently slapped his back, and comforted: "I have never drunk a drop of alcohol, even if I am happy, I should be more restrained." ”
Ling Jue listened to the voice, raised his head vaguely, glanced at him, as if he recognized it as his brother, and said with a smile: "Brother, it was the emperor who gave wine, and I am naturally happy...... Did you know that today...... The emperor still wants to give me a marriage. ”
When Ling Jingshen heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, so he still stroked his back for him, and asked again, "Marriage?" "I thought that Ling Jue didn't get close to the woman he wanted, what kind of marriage would he give? As soon as his mind turned, he tried to ask, "Which girl is it with?" ”
Ling Jue laughed a few times, getting more and more drunk, his eyes were drunk, but he smiled: "Brother, I can't talk to you......"
Ling Jingshen saw that he looked stupid and stupid, which was very different from the usual cold-faced and self-contained appearance, and he also felt funny, so he coaxed and said: "That's it, if you don't say it, you won't say it, and you can rest and rest for a while." As he spoke, he helped Ling Jue and gently let him lie down, which was more comfortable.
Ling Jue really lay down obediently, his eyes closed, and after a while, he suddenly said drunkenly: "They all stopped me, why stop me, alas, wouldn't it be ......good to give marriage?"
Ling Jingshen sat next to him, and as soon as his heart moved, he asked tentatively, "Who is stopping you?" ”
Ling Jue didn't answer, only kept his eyes closed, and muttered again after a while: "I know that my sister has me in her heart...... It's so weird, she treats me very badly, and she pushes me ......" Although her mouth was a little sentimental, there was a very faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which showed that she liked it.
Ling Jingshen tightened his eyebrows, then he didn't speak, he just stared at Ling Jue, but when he saw Ling Jue pause for a while, he said upside down again: "I know you have a heart for me...... I will never forget that night...... When I think about it, my heart hurts a lot, and it's the first time I've ever experienced it......"
Ling Jingshen was shocked, his eyes stared at Ling Jue, and finally couldn't help but say, "That night? ”
Although Ling Jue's eyes were closed, his eyes were spinning, and he suddenly opened his eyes again, looked at Ling Jingshen blankly for a moment, and then said, "Brother, you don't know...... I can't sue you ......" As he spoke, he laughed again, but this time although he was smiling, tears slowly welled up in his eyes.
Ling Jingshen clenched his hands and didn't say a word, Ling Jue laughed for a while, the wine came up again, then he closed his eyes again, muttered in his mouth, the voice was subtle, Ling Jingshen leaned over slightly, listened carefully, but listened to Ling Jue's soft call: "Huaizhen ......" faintly, like a sigh.
Let's say that because he is the top student in high school, Ying Huai can't help but be surprised in his heart.
It's just because in the previous life, Ling Jue was the third Tanhualang in the first class, but I don't know why he is the leader of the first class this time? Could it be that his talent is higher than before? Or is it a different way? It's really incomprehensible.
Unexpectedly, I was shocked, and two days later, I heard that Ling Jue worshiped in Ying Lanfengmen, although Ying Lanfeng boasted that he did not have any high talents to teach this "Tianzhong talent", but he was too sincere and sincere, and Ying Lanfeng liked such a young man very much, so he only pushed it a few times, after all, he also agreed.
After that, Ling Jue saw Ying Lanfeng, and he was only called "teacher".
Huaizhen knew about this, and he was completely useless, and when he thought about it, he laughed and laughed, and he didn't know what kind of creation this was.
On this day, Ying Pei was talking to Huaizhen in the house, and for some reason he talked about the incident of Qionglin Yuan that night, Ying Pei smiled and said: "The emperor originally wanted him to be a concubine, but he boldly resigned, and we were all sweating beside us." ”
Huai Zhen had seen Ling Jue's methods, so he sneered and said, "Hmph...... Naturally, he has the courage that others don't have. ”
Ying Huaizhen was meant to be mocking, but Ying Pei only took it seriously, and said with a smile: "This is very true, who would have thought that he would want the emperor to give him a marriage?" I originally thought Xiao Jue was joking, but when I looked at it later, it seemed to be true, but fortunately, my little cousin came out to stop it...... That's why he didn't say it, but he didn't know who the woman he wanted the emperor to marry? I don't see him getting close to any girl on weekdays......"
At the Qionglin banquet, Huai Zhen also heard a little about it from Ying Lanfeng's mouth, and after looking back and thinking about it, he couldn't help but think of Guo Bailu.
Huaizhen just wanted: According to Ling Jue's previous appearance of thinking about Guo Bailu, now Guo Bailu has promised it to King Xi, if this person is so bold that he wants to beg the emperor to take Guo Bailu back at the Qionglin banquet...... It's not impossible to reads();.
This kind of shocking behavior, others are afraid of not believing it, but it is not against him at all.
Probably Guo Jianyi also understood his feelings, so he hurriedly stopped him before he caused trouble, which is very reasonable to think about it.
Huai Zhen sneered again: "Who knows? This person's heart is buried so deeply, and people who are idle can't see through it, but fortunately, the little cousin is alert, otherwise he would almost make an accident for him......"
Ying Pei seemed to be interesting when he heard this, so he said, "Something happened? ”
Huai Zhen stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and whispered: "It's nothing, anyway, I still don't mention this person." ”
Seeing this, Ying Pei tried to ask, "Sister, why do you always seem to dislike Xiao Jue?" ”
Huai Zhen wanted to praise and disparage a few words, but he thought that he now worshiped Ying Lanfeng as his teacher, and he ...... He also confessed his love, not to mention that Guo Bailu was already about to marry King Xi, this person actually wanted to make trouble at the Qionglin banquet because of this, such an infatuation, but it was also impressive, he was so ruthless to himself in his previous life, but now there is a Guo Bailu to grind him, but it is also retribution.
If you say bad things about him again at this moment, it seems that you are suspected of chewing your tongue behind your back, why bother to be greedy for a moment of refreshment and mouthful.
Huai Zhen didn't want to say anything more, but smiled: "Where my brother says, I don't like it, it's just that it has nothing to do with me." ”
Speaking of this, he wanted to change the topic, but just as he was about to speak, he heard Chunhui laughing outside, and actually raised his voice and said, "What are you going?" ”
Huaizhen and Ying Pei looked at each other, I don't know how, Ying Pei went out to look, but saw Chunhui coming in with the curtain raised, the three of them met, Ying Peiyin asked, "Who is my brother talking to outside?" ”
Chunhui smiled, and said, "I just brought Xiao Jue over, and I wanted to come in to talk to you, but I heard you talk about him outside...... He probably couldn't get over it, so he went on his own. ”
Huai Zhen was shocked, and immediately remembered what he had just said.
Ying Pei complained: "My brother is also broken, why don't you mention it?" If we say something unpleasant, we will not sin against him from now on. ”
Chunhui smiled and said: "Don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Xiao Jue is not that kind of person, he is afraid that he will come in at this time, but he will be ashamed of you, so he went quietly, and specially told me not to make a noise...... I couldn't help but scream. ”
When Huaizhen heard this, there seemed to be a knot in his heart, so he also frowned and said: "If you don't say that, maybe he doesn't say anything, but he hates us in his heart?" Brother Chunhui just doesn't take it seriously, let alone ...... What did you do with him here for no reason? Don't know how to avoid suspicion? If this is still the case in the future, see if I don't tell grandma to go. ”
Because Ling Jue worshiped Ying Lanfeng, he has often been in and out of Ying Gong's Mansion recently, Chunhui has been with him since he was a child, and he also believes that he and Huaizhen know each other, so he is not particularly taboo, at this moment I heard Huaizhen say this, I was afraid, and I was busy begging Huaizhen for mercy, and said that I didn't dare anymore, so everyone said something else, and then put the matter aside.
So a few days later, it was the Daughter's Day, because Lan Feng pity Huaizhen since the Beijing, the town was only trapped in the house, waiting for leisure is rare to have a heart, and he has been out for many years, missing those good times in vain, and finally came back, so he naturally wants to have a family and a happy time.
Therefore, Ying Lanfeng begged Mrs. Ying, and only said that on this day, she would take her family out of the city to play in the spring.
