When Gao Gong returned home, it was already late.

Xie Fu got the news early, and he was still hesitant to see him, after all, Gao Gong was busy with political affairs, and Xie Fu was not sure whether he should bother him. Besides, what if you don't know anything about this little thing in the harem?

However, after only a few moments, she didn't have to worry about it.

Because, the housekeeper Gao Fu came over in person and brought Gao Gong's instructions: "Second girl, my lord, please come over, I have something to say." ”

Such a coincidence?

Xie Fu didn't know what Gao Gong had to say, but Gao Gong took the initiative to pass her over, but it solved a problem, so she nodded, asked Gao Fu to lead the way, and went all the way to Gao Gong's study.

Gao Gong is indeed not young, and the shadow under the light falls on the window, revealing a kind of sloppiness.

He took off his robe, put it in the hands of the servant who was serving him, and rubbed his brow carefully before exhaling a breath of turbid air in his chest.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

Gao Fu was already standing outside, bowed down and asked, "My lord, the second girl is here." ”

"Come in."

Gao Gong replied briefly, and at the same time lifted his robe and sat down, and picked up the tea on the table.

The door opened, Xie Fu walked in, and saluted Gao Gong: "Fu'er greets my grandfather." ”

"Get up, sit."

Gao Gong took a sip of tea, the warm tea flowing in his mouth, gradually soothing the fatigue, and the expression on his face loosened slightly, as if he had only relaxed at this time.

Xie Fu sat down as he said, looked up at the high arch, and intuitively sensed that there seemed to be something different about the high arch today.

"Grandfather is looking for Fu'er to ......"

Gao Gong said: "When I came back, I also heard Gao Fu say that you want to look for me?" ”

"Yes." Xie Fu nodded, "It's because I heard a news in the palace, so I originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask you." ”

"But the news that Miss Ge is going to enter the palace?"

Gao Gong didn't even blink his eyes to guess directly.

Xie Fu was surprised: "You even know?" ”

"Alas......"

let out a long sigh, the high arched thick eyebrows were already dyed with a bit of frost, and the eyebrows were hanging down, but they looked sad.

"How could I not know? I was in the palace today, and I originally knew that Ge Xiu and you would enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet that day, so I paid special attention to it. When I was in the cabinet today, Meng Chong came in to talk to my uncle, and casually joked, but I didn't want to make me listen to it. My uncle also told me to be careful and careful, so that nothing could happen. ”

"Master Zhang has a heart."

Before he fell out with Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong were also good friends, even if they tore their faces now, they were still talking and laughing.

Xie Fu knew the relationship between the two, but he couldn't help but wonder what Zhang Juzheng's intentions were.

Gao Gong remembered the events of the day, and he couldn't help but think of the events of a long time ago.

He suppressed his depression and forced a laugh.

"You want to ask me, but you're worried about Ge Xiu's girl?"

"Don't hide it from your grandfather, Fu'er is really worried." Xie Fu said bluntly, "Not long ago, Ah Xiu told me that I really wanted to enter the palace, but what I wanted was not to become the emperor's concubine, but to become the crown prince. Who would have thought that now it would be a mistake, and that the saint is ...... today"

Speaking of this, but he didn't dare to say it, Xie Fu raised his eyes and looked at Gao Gong.

"And today's emperor is addicted to wine, ignoring the government, and is really mediocre and incompetent. What's more, the pattern in the harem has been set early, and it won't be good to go in...... Right? ”

Gao Gong smiled bitterly and asked Xie Fu.

Xie Fu hesitated, but still nodded.

"It's not that Ah Xiu can't find a good family, even if he can't climb the crown prince, there is no need to empty this Shaohua to the sixth palace......"

That's the truth.

Why don't you think so?

But when he heard that it was Ge Xiu who entered the palace, he felt a strange relaxation in his heart.

As long as it's not Fu'er, it's anyone.

Gao Gong raised his eyes and stared at Xie Fu fixedly, the love in his eyes gradually flowed, happy, complicated, guilty...... Many feelings flowed little by little, and finally turned into another long sigh.

"Grandfather?"

Xie Fu felt that Gao Gong seemed to know something.

Gao Gong didn't hide it from her, and said, "After learning the news today, I made a big effort to inquire. I heard that the queen went to the Qianqing Palace to ask the emperor, and the emperor made a decision, but I also heard that when the queen came out, her face was not very good-looking. ”

Xie Fu was surprised.

The relationship between the queen and the emperor and the emperor is weak, which is a well-known thing, not to mention that with Concubine Li Guifei forcing her below, her life is bound to be uncomfortable. But in ordinary times, the queen can still smile, how can she change color because a little girl is about to enter the palace?

Even......

At this moment, even the high arch knows.

As soon as Gao Gong looked at Xie Fu's face, he knew that she had already guessed in her heart, so she only said: "I can't tell whose idea it was in this matter, and my grandfather will pay attention to it for you in the near future." I heard that you also asked Xu Po to contact the matchmaker and asked for a lot of rosters, do you have a favorite candidate? ”

"Nope."

Xie Fu shook his head honestly, and inevitably a little embarrassment came out of his face.

"The reputation of this talented man in Beijing, Fu'er has heard it for a long time, but he has also heard many ridiculous things about them, and when he saw that the top blew them to the sky and the earth, he somehow couldn't look down on any of them."

“……”

Gao Gong was stunned, and it took a long time before he laughed helplessly.

"You, you, I really don't know whether to say that your eyes are above the top, or if your heart belongs! If others know that you don't look down on any of them, I'm afraid that they will scold me for being high, saying that I won't teach my granddaughter. ”

"That's what they said, it's because of a grandfather like you that I have a granddaughter with eyes above the top." 、

Xie Fu blinked and smiled wisely.

"Hahaha......"

This time, Gao Gong was out laughing.

He was half pleased, half funny.

"Alright, well, it's all my old man's problem in the end. Let me think about it, is there anything I value more in this capital...... Hmm, have you ever heard of Li Jingxiu? ”

"Li Jingxiu?"

Xie Fu was stunned, he really didn't expect Gao Gong to give a name.

She couldn't help but recall.

Li Jingxiu, the youngest son of Li Qian's family, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is rumored to be funny, literary and elegant, and once read for the prince. Zhang Juzheng is half of his husband, a gentleman in Beijing, and few people can have this honor.

I also heard that the prince usually takes him with him when he has something, and he can be regarded as a favorite minister by Zhu Yijun's side.

Whether it is looking at talents, looks, or the future, this Li Jingxiu can be regarded as the object of great favor among celebrities in Beijing.

"How? Is it still worth watching? ”

Gao Gong saw that Xie Fu was in thought, and couldn't help but ask.

Xie Fu's face was strange, and while thinking of Li Jingxiu's identity, he couldn't help but think of the joke that Li Gongzi made not long ago.

At Zhang Lizhu's birthday banquet, wasn't he the one who quietly looked in, but hit his head on the screen, attracting everyone's attention?

Although everyone didn't know it at the time, there was no impermeable wall in the world, and the news spread after a while.

Therefore, Xie Fu also knows.

She really couldn't figure out what she should say to this person.

After thinking about it for a moment, Xie Fu still said, "Grandfather thinks this person is good?" ”

Gao Gong nodded, and his eyes showed appreciation: "Although this son's heart has not yet been tempered to the home, he already has everyone's demeanor, following the prince's side, he has a lot of knowledge, and he is influenced by the prince's demeanor, and he is half of the prince's best friend, which is extremely rare in Beijing." Although he is the youngest son in the family, he is not arrogant. You don't need to marry someone to inherit the family business, it just so happens that their family is also simple......"

In this way, Li Jingxiu is already a rare choice.

Xie Fu listened to Gao Gong's words and nodded contemplatively.

"Since it's someone who has to look up to my grandfather, it must be really good......

"If you have doubts, turn back and let you know about this person." Gao Gong laughed, touched his beard on the bar, and his two eyes narrowed into a line, "He Zhang Juzheng can hold this banquet, and I can do that banquet." Turn around and call us Fu'er, pick well, with your current character, there are few people in the entire capital who are not worthy. ”

Between the words, there is a lot of pride, and it is rare to have a bit of an old and indecent appearance.

Xie Fu smiled.

Come to think of it, that's exactly what happened.

When it comes to the position of the high arch, in the capital, except for a Zhang Lizhu, there are indeed few people who can compare with her.

Can it be ......

There are few people who can choose and choose.

Xie Fu pondered, should I go back to Master Du, do a ritual, wash my eyes, and see if my heart is higher than the sky from time to time.

Since a Li Jingxiu has been decided, the rest of the things are easy to solve, Gao Gong only said that he would probe the wind when he went to the court tomorrow to see the situation, so he asked Xie Fu to go back and rest earlier.

Huo Xiaonan also came back early, saying that Steward Chen of Ge Mansion said that he had only received the holy decree today, and Xie Fu would be able to go to see Ge Xiu tomorrow.

So, seeing that the time was not early, Xie Fu cleaned up and went to bed early.

The world in the dream is still a white expanse.

Xie Fu saw the vast field, lonely old trees, and a few crows hovering in the desolate sky. She was alone, running in the field, and the yellow stalks of grass cut her skin.

Looking around, there was no one.

In the boiling void, there was a faint call.

Fu'er, Fu'er......

It's the mother's voice.

Xie Fu saw from a distance that a cloud in the sky, as if illuminated by the glow, turned into a little bit of rouge.

It was the makeup on my mother's face, rich and bright.

The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, but a red tear was drawn at the corner of his eyes.

Gao's lips opened and closed, and she kept saying something, but Xie Fu's ears only had the sound of the wind, the sound of the wind, she tried hard to hear something, but she couldn't hear anything.

"Mother's ......"

Murmuring and waking up, Xie Fu's eyes were still a little trance-like.

This dream seems to indicate something.

Before dawn, she didn't wear shoes, stepped on the blanket on the ground, walked all the way to the window, and gently pushed the window open.

Outside, there were early birds that were startled.

Xie Fu looked over, and it was dark all around.

The courtyard of Gaofu was sprinkled with dew, and the mothers-in-law who had gotten up early had already come out of the corner gate to buy things at the market. There are also farmers who carry burdens from the mouth of the alley and deliver fruits and vegetables to the door of Gaofu.

Busy people start their day early.

The bell of Fayuan Temple passed through countless streets, and at the moment when dawn came, at the moment when the red sun was about to jump out of the horizon, it spread all over the four fields.

The pious pilgrims, already standing in front of the mountain gate, slowly walked inside.

The monks opened the shrine, took out the scriptures, and began to do their morning lessons.

The sound of Sanskrit singing gradually resounded.

At the gate of Fayuan Temple, a thin old man, his face was stained with wind and frost, and his messy hair and messy beard all showed his dust. Quietly listening to this cleansing Sanskrit chant, the corners of his chapped lips finally hooked.

Lift the step, inward.

His steps were not slow, and after a while, he had already come to the side of the already blue "Xiangxue Sea".

At this time, the lilacs had already bloomed, and there was no one around, but there was still a lantern hanging in the corridor on both sides.

This is a lotus lantern, which was left by Xie Fu for the lantern festival that day.

The white snake crossed the river, with a round of red sun on its head.

The old man stood in front of the lantern and pondered.

Master Du I led a group of monks from a distance, and when he happened to see this scene, he couldn't help but stop.

He held the Buddha beads in his hand, squinted his eyes to identify them, and after a while, his pupils suddenly dilated: "Mr. Xu!" ”
