The emperor still had a smile on his face, but his gaze gradually cooled. Xiao Lin knelt on the ground and lowered his head, naturally he couldn't see the emperor's expression, but he felt a trace of coldness on his big back.

After a long time, the emperor smiled faintly and sighed: "You mean Can'er?" ”

Xiao Lin responded calmly: "Back to the emperor, yes." ”

"I'm afraid you're wishful thinking about this." The emperor turned around and walked behind the dragon case, sat down slowly, and said, "Get up." ”

After Xiao Lin kowtowed again, Fang slowly stood up, and then quietly raised his eyes to look at the emperor's expression.

The emperor's face still has a smiling expression, but the smile does not reach the bottom of his eyes.

As keen as Xiao Lin, he has already sensed the emperor's displeasure, but the words have been spoken, and there is no reason to take it back. Moreover, Xiao Lin revealed his love for Han Mingcan in front of the emperor, and did not expect the emperor to do this.

Taking a step back, he didn't want the emperor to give him a marriage he didn't like.

The emperor glanced at Xiao Lin again, shut up and stopped talking about the marriage, and only said: "I still have something to do, you can step back first." ”

"Yes. The minister retired. Xiao Lin bowed and kowtowed again, and then respectfully withdrew.

The imperial study was empty, and Huai En was not there, the eunuch and palace maid on duty had already been sent out by the emperor, and after Xiao Lin went out, the emperor was the only one left.

The emperor held Xiao Lin's palace test paper in his hand, and after reading it for a long time, Fang smiled coldly, raised his hand to pat the test paper on the dragon case, and said in a low voice: "What a young maniac!" ”

The next day, the results of the temple examination were announced.

Champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua are three, but there is no name of Xiao Lin.

In the main hall, Xiao Lin and the other nine Jinshi stood side by side, and there was no trace of waves on their calm faces. He knew that the conversation he had with the emperor yesterday got rid of the shackles of a marriage, and at the same time lost a false name.

However, for the parties, a stormy Enke ended with the announcement of the list of the hand-picked top three.

Xiao Lin was originally from a jinshi and a first, but he became a jinshi, and he fell on the same level as Yao Yanyi.

Then again. There are many comparisons and competitions between these students on weekdays, let alone today.

The news came from nowhere before, saying that Marquis Xiao is expected to become the champion of this Enke. Therefore, his test paper was specially taken by Feng Zongye to read it, the Feng family has a lot of friendship with the Xiao family, and Prime Minister Feng even specially discussed it with a few henchmen.

As a result of the discussion, everyone unanimously agreed that Xiao Houye's article was majestic and magnificent, and the current political discussion was also very incisive, which was a rare good article. Although it is not said to be the champion of the certainty, the most unfortunate has to be a tanhua. Because everyone speculates that even if there are two people whose articles are similar to him, at least there is a relationship between Emperor Xiao.

If Emperor Xiao's face is lost, the emperor's own face will not look very good. Therefore, some people led by Prime Minister Feng felt that Xiao Lin must leap into the dragon gate this time, and they even thought about how to celebrate this matter.

But on this day, as soon as the three top armors were announced, there was no name of Marquis Xiao, and many ministers in the court were stunned at that time.

After the next court, Prime Minister Feng's face was not very good-looking, and several ministers who had friends with Prime Minister Feng looked at Prime Minister Feng's face and quietly discussed. Even the scholar Feng Shaoping was puzzled, and guessed in his heart whether the emperor had erased Marquis Xiao because of the Weishenme incident.

A glance from the emperor in the temple can cause infinite reverie and speculation among the ministers. Similarly, the private discussions of these ministers also set off a lot of undercurrents in Yundu City.

Some people even began to talk about the decline of the Xiao family's holy favor in private, and the future of the Jinghai Marquis Mansion was worrying.

Some people also say that Xiao Lin is dissolute by nature, and he has no talent to learn, and being able to participate in the palace examination is completely because the emperor gave the Xiao family a face.

There are also some people who say that Xiao Lin must have done something wrong or said something wrong, which angered Long Yan, and he will definitely have a hard time in the future.

Later, some people even said that the emperor wanted to give the fourth princess to Marquis Xiao, but Marquis Xiao refused to marry on the spot, and the emperor was furious and almost killed Marquis Jinghai.

In this way, all kinds of rumors have become the hottest topic among the people of Yundu City after dinner.

……

According to the regular system, if you are a jinshi, you can enter the Hanlin Academy to serve and receive a salary. But it is impossible for people like Xiao Lin and Yao Yanyi who have been hereditary marquis to enter the Hanlin Academy, work in pen and ink, eat and drink, and wait for opportunities to climb up.

A few days later, under the holy decree, Xiao Lin was appointed as the salt and iron envoy of Jiangning, and he took office from now on. Xiao Lin was naturally happy, thinking that this salt and iron envoy was an errand to do practical things, even if he was a high school champion, he couldn't get such a good job, so he should be content with it.

But this has become a different meaning in the eyes of others. Xiao Lin is the grandson of the emperor, and his father died for the country, so it should be said that the saint should be solemn, stay by the emperor's side, and entrust him with important tasks.

Moreover, his article Feng Shaoping is very optimistic, and thinks that even if the emperor does not name him as the champion, at least he is a tanhua. Unexpectedly, none of the top three had his share!

Although he has a very fat real shortage, but a person with a marquis on his body, would he care about such an errand as a fifth-grade official from Jiangning Salt and Iron?

Xiao Lin didn't care what others thought, and what he wanted was not to stay in the capital and accompany the king. Therefore, after receiving the holy decree, I was very happy, and I also set up a table in the Zuixian Building, and invited a few sons of the family who could say it in the capital to have a good time.

However, King Cheng heard about Xiao Lin, so he found a time to face the saint. King Cheng talked to the emperor, and he never made much detours, so he asked directly if he had anything to say.

The emperor frowned and shook his head, and said: "After all, he has been rich and noble since he was a child, and he grew up in a fiefdom, and the emperor is far away, so it is inevitable that he will be a little frivolous. I want to let him out for two years. Anyway, Yao'er is still young, so there is no need to worry about marriage. ”

King Cheng was dissatisfied with Xiao Lin when he heard the emperor's tone, and asked puzzledly: "But what happened to this Xiao Lin to make the imperial brother unhappy?" ”

The emperor shook his head, and asked instead of answering: "What are your plans for Junze's (Yun Kun's cousin)'s marriage?" ”

King Cheng sighed and said, "This child has liked Can'er since he was a child, and his younger brother originally thought that his daughter-in-law's choice was none other than Can'er. But the two of them don't know what kind of trouble they have had recently, and even the fourth emperor sister said that her words when she was a child were not counted. Let the subordinate choose another good match for Junze. But Junze's temperament ...... It's not that Can'er doesn't marry. Seeing that the two of them are not too old, I really don't know what to do if they delay any longer. ”

The emperor also sighed slightly and said, "The fourth emperor sister also mentioned this matter to me. In my opinion, the twisted melon is not sweet, so it is better to choose another good match for Junze. It just so happened that it was time for several princes to start a family. After a few days, the weather was warm, and I told the queen to set up a flower-viewing banquet in the palace, so that the queen could use her heart to bring her seven brothers and sisters into the palace and pick one for Junze with her heart. ”

When King Cheng heard this, he had to thank the emperor. However, in his heart, he felt that the flower banquet or something was not helpful to his son's marriage, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, thinking of this, King Cheng couldn't help but feel sad for a while.

Compared with Xiao Lin, Yao Yanyi is much more proud.

The emperor gave him a job as a member of the Wupin Yu Department, Yao Yanyi snickered in his heart after receiving the holy decree, the affairs of this Yu Department are responsible for the greening of mountains and forests, etc., and the emperor let him be a member of the Wailang, which is equivalent to letting him go and help his sister collect medicine. Yao Yanyi smiled secretly in his heart, I don't know how many people's eyes have been blinded by this false gun?

When the dust settled, Yao Yanyu began to pack up and prepare to travel south.

She wants to leave, Han Mingcan and Su Yuxuan are naturally reluctant, packing up these days, the two of them can't wait to come over every day, talk with them, accompany them to pack up their things, the three of them are tired of being together every day, and they can't stop talking.

Yao Yanyu came to Beijing in June last year, and she lived for more than ten months.

Han Mingcan and Su Yuxuan are both literate, and they can also help Yao Yanyu sort out some books and manuscripts. However, Shuying and Cuiyu Zhuoyu and other maids listened to Cuiwei's assignment and helped clean up Yao Yanyu's clothes, jewelry and daily belongings.

Su Yuxuan inadvertently turned to some handwritten things in Yao Yanyu, and saw that there were some words on them that she had never seen before, and there were even some symbols that were like foreign languages, so she asked strangely: "Sister, what kind of heavenly book are you writing here?" ”

Yao Yanyu smiled: "This is something I wrote casually, and in order to save trouble, I drew some symbols." Only I know it. ”

"You're amazing, I thought it was some kind of alien writing."

Han Mingcan smiled: "Really? Show it to me. As he spoke, he leaned over, looked at it for a long time and said with a smile: "What kind of symbol is this, crawling around like an earthworm, Yanyu, how did you think of drawing such a symbol?" ”

"It's just for the sake of being fast. Not as cumbersome as writing. ”

"Huh?" Han Mingcan suddenly said: "By the way, there seems to be a book at home in my house, and it seems that there is such a text in it, which is similar to yours." ”

Yao Yanyu was stunned for a moment, thinking that it wouldn't be, right? If this is to let people know that they know a foreign language, will it be regarded as a heresy again?

"Really?" Su Yuxin leaned over and asked.

"Well, it seems to be still in my father's big study, I only looked at it at the time, and I put it back because I couldn't understand it."

"Maybe it's just looking similar, right? As for what Sister Yao wrote, I can't guess what this symbol means even if I break the sky. ”

Yao Yanyu said with a smile: "Okay, let's put these things here, I'm tired, ask the maids to pour tea, let's rest." ”

The little maid Banxia came in with a tray and offered a fragrant tea to each of the three people.

Han Mingcan took the tea and leaned on the couch, looking at the green new tea in the bowl, because he asked, "What kind of tea is this?" It's so fresh and green, so people like it when they see it. ”

"This is Wulian Green Tea. It is a specialty of Naoli. Yao Yanyu said, and looked at Su Yuyu again, "Yu'er should know that this was specially sent by her eldest sister, and Mrs. Hou Fu gave her sister some, and my sister saw that she liked it, so she gave it to me." ”

Su Yuxuan nodded and said, "It is said that this tea is very popular in Zhili, but some people don't like it." I also think it's too bitter. ”

Yao Yanyu said with a smile: "Spring is dry and easy to get hot, so drinking some tea is good for your body." However, my sister is pregnant and is not suitable for drinking these, so she gave them to me. ”

Han Mingcan listened, nodded and said, "That's right, she's pregnant, so she needs to be especially careful in everything." ”

The three sisters drank tea and gossiped at the same time. Because he talked about Yao Yanyi's errand, he naturally talked about Jinghaihou.

Su Yuxuan lowered his voice and said: "It is said that this Enke, the Marquis of Jinghai should have been the champion and the first, but because he said the wrong thing, he angered the emperor and was wiped out of his armor. ”

Han Mingcan has also heard his mother talk about this, although the Zhenguo Mansion is a military general, but the two Han Entropy brothers can talk to Xiao Lin, so they are also quite concerned about his affairs. Regarding the emperor's intention to marry the Marquis of Jinghai, Han Mingcan didn't care, which doesn't mean that the Han family doesn't care.

The eldest princess of Ninghua has always been careful about her daughter's affairs, Han Chengge also likes Xiao Lin's temperament, and after the Lantern Festival, he specially invited him to come to the house to drink twice, and later inadvertently found that the dignified Jinghaihou actually carried a silver coin in his arms, and asked someone to specially play the plum blossom in the heart, without asking, he guessed Xiao Lin's thoughts. Therefore, I am more attentive to this person.

Later, Xiao Lin was removed from the armor, and Han Entropy was also suspicious. also specially asked someone to check, but at that time, the emperor and Xiao Lin were talking in the imperial study, and even Huai En was not around, so Han Shizi didn't find out why.

Wei Zhang knows a little about this, but it's just a guess, maybe the emperor has something else to hide from Xiao Lin, so it's inconvenient to say more.

On the contrary, when Yun Kun was talking with his brothers by chance, Yun Kun said casually and casually said that King Cheng liked Jinghaihou very much.

At that time, Yun Kun's meaning may have been to indirectly tell Wei Zhangcheng Wangfu about Yun Yao's plans, Yun Yao's meaning to Wei Zhang was so obvious, Yun Kun didn't want Wei Zhang to think more about it. It's just that I didn't expect to be listened to by Han Genge.

Later, the eldest princess Ning Hua asked Han Mingcan what he thought of Xiao Lin. Naturally, it was because Han Entropy Ge had mentioned Xiao Lin's thoughts about Han Mingcan to her. Han Mingcan only said that he only had a one-sided relationship with him on the night of the Midyear Festival, and it was not easy to judge.

In fact, Han Mingcan can't say whether he really likes Xiao Lin or not.

Although Xiao Lin is a weak scholar and a suave person, his words are sharp, but he is iron-clad, Han Mingcan originally admired such a man. But she still has the shadow of Yun Kun in her heart, and the relationship of more than ten years cannot be erased in one or two sentences, so she will not be able to fall in love with others for a while.

She understands that she wants a sensible marriage and a future that she can control. So I handed over this matter to my mother to deal with, and I only waited for my parents and brother to arrange it with peace of mind.

understood what her daughter meant, and the eldest princess Ning Hua paid attention to Xiao Lin, and was looking for an opportunity to mention to the emperor that Xiao Lin should stay in the capital, and then promote his marriage with his daughter. Unexpectedly, the emperor took the first step to make an order to let Xiao Lin go to Jiangning to take care of the salt and iron over there. So I had to keep my daughter's matter down.

Han Mingcan knew these things in his heart, but he didn't say much, and when he heard Yao Yanyu and Su Yuxuan talk about Xiao Lin, he was just silent.

Yao Yanyu looked at Han Mingcan's face and said softly, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Su Yuxuan nodded hurriedly and responded, "I know, I'm here to talk to the two sisters." ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, turned their heads and saw Han Mingcan in a trance, Su Yuyin asked, "Sister Han, what are you thinking?" ”

Han Mingcan smiled faintly after coming back to his senses and said, "I didn't think about anything. ”

"Oh! I know! Su Yuxuan made a naughty grimace and said with a smile, "I must be thinking about my sweetheart." Look-Sister Han blushes! ”

"Nonsense! I'm not you! After Han Mingcan finished speaking, he also smiled, "Speaking of which, you have also reached the age of marriage, and you have reached the age of talking about marriage?" Did you fall in love with a young man for a long time, but you didn't invite it truthfully? ”

"Why! Sister Han, don't change the subject, we're talking about you. Su Yuxin smiled and said: "Sister, if you don't marry, my sister naturally won't dare to marry, how can a younger sister marry in front of my sister." ”

Yao Yanyu looked at the two of them joking, thinking to herself that with Han Mingcan's cleverness, how could she not see Su Yuxuan's thoughts. She said this, it is because the Zhenguo Mansion does not agree with Su Yuxuan marrying Han Entropy.

The marriage of these children involves the interests of the entire family, and it is a headache to think about. Speaking of which, it's more simple on my side, thinking about that person, there won't be so much involvement, as long as the emperor doesn't obstruct it, there won't be these troubles...... It's just that there is a county lord involved, and it feels like a headache when you think about it.

Belch? What are you thinking?! Yao Yanyu collected her thoughts in time, and found that her heart was full of that cold and wise face, and she felt annoyed for a while. Silently smacked himself: Weishenme would miss him?! Don't think about it! After messing with King Cheng's Mansion, there will be no good life!

Regarding Yao Yanyu's imminent departure from Beijing and going south, Yao Fengge even had a hard time. She originally expected Yao Yanyu to stay in the capital and wait for her to give birth, but now it seems that she can't.

Because it was a confidential matter, Yao Fengge didn't know that Yao Yanyu wanted to prepare medicinal powder for the emperor, so when she told Yao Yanyi that she wanted Yao Yanyu to stay with her, Yao Yanyi just shook her head helplessly and gave her four words: "The holy order is hard to disobey." ”

There are some things that even brothers and sisters can't say. So, Yao Fengge didn't say anything more.

On the second day of the first month of April, the spring breeze is warm, the grass grows and the warbler flies, it is suitable to marry, it is suitable to travel, and it is necessary to avoid breaking the ground.

On this day, the Yao brothers and sisters will leave Beijing with Xiao Lin, the Marquis of Jinghai, who went south to serve, and leave Beijing with their servants, escort chariots and horses, and get on the boat from the Dongyun Tianhe Wharf, the capital of the Great Cloud Emperor, and go south along the river, which can lead to the south of the Yangtze River.

Yao Yanyu and the second brother left early in the morning and took a carriage to the Yuntianhe Wharf first.

Han Mingcan must come to see him off, Han Entropy thought that Yao Yanyu would be gone for two or three months, and he also felt a little melancholy, so he accompanied his sister to the dock to see him off. Yao Fengge couldn't come because she was pregnant, so Su Yuxiang came to send it on behalf of Dinghou Mansion, and Su Yuxiang naturally followed.

In the twilight of spring, the Yuntian River reflects the blue sky, sparkling, and several gorgeous boats are parked on the spacious river. One was ridden by the brothers and sisters of the Yao family, and the other was by Xiaolin, Marquis of Jinghai. There were also two smaller passenger boats, intended for the entourage, which were loaded with some luggage that was not commonly used.

Under the green willows, Su Yuyu held Yao Yanyu's hand and was reluctant to let go, with a pair of big eyes with tears in her eyes: "Sister Yao, will you come back in the future?" ”

Yao Yanyu didn't mention to Su Yuyu that she went to Jiangnan this time to get herbal medicine on the orders of the emperor, so Su Yuyu only thought that Yao Yanyu went home with her brother, after all, her home is in Jiangnan, she is a girl's family, her parents and relatives are there, and it is impossible to live in the capital all the time and rely on her married sister-in-law.

Han Mingcan knew a thing or two, but it was just a matter of state affairs, and she didn't dare to say much.

Yao Yanyu couldn't say that she was back, let alone that she wouldn't come back, she just took a handkerchief to wipe Su Yuyu's tears, and laughed in a low voice: "Look at you, so many people are watching, it's not good to cry with red eyes." ”

Su Yuxuan flattened her mouth and quietly glanced at Han Entropy next to her.

Next to him, Han Entropy and Su Yuxiang were saying goodbye to Yao Yanyi and Xiao Lin, and the men naturally had what they had to say, unlike the reluctance between the little daughters here, the goodbye over there was accompanied by hearty laughter.

Feng Shaochen naturally wanted to send Xiao Lin, but Feng Gongzi was full of parting emotions but not on Xiao Lin, he glanced here from time to time, his eyes were entangled with Yao Yanyu, as if he had a thousand words to say, but he didn't have a chance.

Yao Yanyu also glanced at a few people over there, and thought, why hasn't Wei Zhang arrived yet? Isn't he responsible for his own safety? Why can't you even see a shadow? Can he still go to heaven and earth, engage in the same set in martial arts novels, and secretly protect himself?

Over there, Han Entropy and the others drank farewell wine with Yao Yanyi and Xiao Lin, and sprinkled their ambitions to meet again in the future.

Yao Yanyi arched his hand and said: "It's not too early, thank you for your deep friendship, when you come to Jiangnan, Yao Er will cook tea and sweep the couch to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

Here, Yao Yanyu also patted Su Yu's face and said affectionately: "Er, you have to listen to Sister Han more in everything." I'm leaving. I'll be back again when I have a chance. ”

"Yes, when the third sister-in-law gives birth to a little nephew, the governor's wife will always come to the capital to visit the little nephew, and then the sister must come again." Miss Su San quickly found the time to reunite, turned sadness into joy for a while, held Yao Yanyu's hand again, and repeated: "Sister Han and I are waiting for Sister Han to come back." ”

Yao Yanyu had no choice but to nod with a smile and agreed. Mama Feng hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded, "Girl, it's time to get on the boat." ”

Su Yuyu's tears fell again, Yao Yanyu raised her hand and rubbed her face, and said with a reluctant smile: "It's not early, I'm leaving." Go back early, too. After speaking, he nodded to Han Mingcan again, then hurriedly turned around and stepped onto the deck and got on the passenger ship.

Yao Yanyi and Xiao Lin also arched their hands towards everyone, said 'farewell' and turned to get on the boat, and the servants followed, removing the deck and untying the cables. The boat moved slowly and gradually left the dock.

The Yao brothers and sisters and Xiao Lin stood at the bow of the boat and waved goodbye to everyone on the shore, and gradually drifted away. It wasn't until she couldn't see the figures on the shore clearly that Yao Yanyu took Mama Feng and Cuiwei and others into the cabin.

The cabin of this ship has a total of three floors, the bottom layer is where the commonly used luggage is placed, the middle layer is for Yao Yanyi, and the upper layer is for Yao Yanyu to live with Mama Feng and a few maids. Xiao Lin felt that he was lonely and bored on the boat alone, so he came over to join Yao Yanyi.

There is a stove at the bow of the boat for making tea and soup, and there is also a small kitchen on the boat next to it, so you can cook some delicate food. Although it is not very spacious, but fortunately, someone has been sent to clean it up a long time ago, and the living room is quite comfortable.

Yao Yanyu leaned alone in his cabin, looking out at the scenery on the river through the window screen, at this time the sun was already in the west, and the warm sunlight fell on the river, like sprinkling a handful of gold on the river, sparkling, dazzling people's eyes sour. Frowning slightly, Yao Yanyu couldn't help but think of the scene when she discussed the southward journey with the emperor in the teahouse that day.

On that day, the emperor had already made it clear that he would let Wei Zhang go south with him, but now he has been wearing it for half a day, and he still doesn't see the figure of that person. Didn't you change your mind temporarily? Or, because he was walking with Marquis Jinghai and had Marquis Jinghai's guards by his side, the emperor was already relieved?

In this way, the emperor doesn't care so much about his own safety.

Cuiwei came in with a cup of tea, and saw that Yao Yanyu was still leaning against the window in a daze, so she persuaded: "The girl has been sitting here for a long time, she should get up and take a walk, otherwise her legs will be sore." ”

"Well, what time is it?" Yao Yanyu stretched and moved her legs, and her feet were numb.

"The time has passed." Cuiwei handed over the tea and asked again: "The chef just said that she caught a few fresh crucian carp in the afternoon, and the second master asked the slave to come and ask the girl how she wanted to eat." ”

"Crucian carp is spiny, so it's naturally a stew." Yao Yan said casually.

Cui smiled and said, "The slave maid went and told them." Let them stew slowly in a clay pot and stew the fish bones to rot. ”

"What else do you have to eat besides crucian carp?"

"There are also Qingming shrimp and stone seam shrimp are good, ah, by the way, when the snails got on the boat, they also got more than a dozen loaches, saying that they were good to eat roasted. But the slave and maid look at the dirty one, and the girl doesn't eat it. ”

"Roasted loaches?" Yao Yanyu smiled in surprise, thought for a while, and said, "The grilled shrimp is good, but I don't know how good their skills are." ”

"The girl likes it, and the slave maid will get some charcoal to bake it herself."

"No, it's more lively for everyone to get together to bake and eat."

Seeing that the master had been sitting in a daze for a long time, it was rare to be happy at this time, Cui Wei hurriedly responded: "Well, there are no outsiders on the left and right boats, and only a Marquis Xiao is also common." The slave and maid went and told them to clean up the fish and shrimp, and then the girl would go down and roast them together. ”

The sun sets, and the sun sets. A faint layer of mist rose from the surface of the Yuntian River. Candles had been lit in the cabin, and a string of lanterns had hung on the bow.

Yao Yanyu sat on the bow of the boat wrapped in a smoky purple cloak, guarding a small charcoal stove, and carefully roasted a yellow croaker on the iron grate. Sitting next to Cuiwei, Cuiping, Banxia, Mai Dong and Tianluo Shenjiang two small guys, a few people are talking and laughing, but it is also lively.

There are four dishes on the table in the cabin: fragrant fried wild river prawns, scrambled eggs with white sauce, dry-fried small yellow flowers, and leek fish roe. In addition, there is a delicious soup of fresh bamboo shoots and tofu with river mussels.

Yao Yanyi and Xiao Lin drank each other, but they were also comfortable. Xiao Lin glanced up at Yao Yanyu, who was grilling fish with the maids on the bow of the boat, and said with a smile: "The fish grilled by Sister Ling is really fragrant, I can smell it here." ”

Yao Yanyi smiled, raised her wine glass and touched it with Xiao Lin, took a sip, and sighed: "She has been sullen since she got on the boat, and she is a little happier now." ”

Xiao Lin smiled: "Is it because of saying goodbye to my good sisters?" At that time, I also saw that the three girls in the Dinghou Mansion were wiping tears from their eyes, and their crying eyes were red. The little girl's house, where did you get so much sorrow and farewell. ”

Yao Yanyi chuckled and asked, "You are chic, how can you stare at the little girl's house?" ”

"Can't you see it? It's not that my fair lady is a gentleman! I'll just take a look, what's wrong? Xiao Lin smiled, his fair-skinned and handsome face was a little cynical, but it made Yao Yanyi feel a little sad.

He knew that Marquis Xiao was not looking at his sister at that time, but the Han girl.

Since the head of the Hou Ye in the Midyear Festival was smashed by Miss Han's silver bill, it seems that there is an extra pit in the head. is such a chic and proud person, and when he sees Miss Han, he is a little stupid.

Yao Yanyi smiled indifferently and shook his head, it is inevitable that you will make one or two stupid mistakes in life, the important thing is whether you can bypass it and figure it out.

On the bow of the boat, Yao Yanyu had already grilled two fish, and was sprinkling spices on the fish, when the evening breeze blew, bursts of aroma came to the nose, hooking Yao Yanyi's gluttony, so he raised his hand and picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine with the aroma of grilled fish.

Yao Yanyu put the grilled haode fish on the plate, first used chopsticks to pick up a little meat and put it in her mouth to taste it, and felt that the taste was not bad, so she sent another one to Yao Yanyi.

Cuiwei and Cuiping each grilled a few Qingming shrimps, and the two of them were getting together to taste the taste, this one was salty, and the other was mushy, so it was not lively.

"What a fragrant fish!" A cheerful shout interrupted the chirping girls on the bow of the boat.

"Who?" Tian Luo stood up in wonder and looked at the sound, but saw that there was a flat boat on the dark river, light and fluttering as if there was no weight, and there were two people standing at the bow of the boat, one black and one white, which startled Tian Luo, and couldn't help muttering: "Oh my mother, what kind of person is this, running out at night to scare people?" ”

Yao Yanyu stood up and looked over there when she heard this, Cuiwei and Cuiping also quickly stood up and protected Yao Yanyu left and right, with a nervous face.

"It's still here!" Yao Yanyu looked at the approaching Ye Bian Zhou and laughed softly.

"Huh? This man is familiar...... It seems to be General Wei! Tian Luo finally saw the person clearly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, waving his hand at the other party and shouting, "Is it General Wei?" ”

"You have good eyes!" Tang Xiaoyi, who was dressed in a white robe, smiled, jumped forward, jumped directly on the bow of the boat a few feet away from the river, and stood beside Yao Yanyu, but ignored Yao Yanyu, and only stared at the grilled fish with his eyes shining.

When Yao Yanyi and Xiao Lin heard the movement and came out of the cabin, Wei Zhang had already jumped onto the bow of the boat.

After seeing the person who came, Yao Yanyi's face sank: "General Wei is uninvited, is there something official?" ”

Wei Zhang smiled slightly and said, "No, I just passed by occasionally, and I was attracted by the smell of grilled fish." ”

Yao Yanyi wanted to say something, but was pulled by Xiao Lin and said with a smile: "Since General Wei is here, please sit inside." ”

Wei Zhang glanced at Yao Yanyu and the two fish on the charcoal stove beside her, smiled and shook his head: "No, I'll just sit on the bow of the boat for a while." ”

Xiao Lin smiled: "Miss Yao is grilling fish here, but I don't know if she welcomes the general to sit with her." ”

"There is a difference between men and women, so naturally they cannot sit together." Yao Yan said with a snort.

"Ahh The fish seems to be mushy! Tang Xiaoyi exclaimed, and hurriedly went to turn over the fish.

Yao Yanyu looked at his chaotic appearance and hurriedly said, "You biedong!" So saying, he walked over, took a handkerchief, pinched the iron skewer that pierced the fish, and turned the fish over. But in the end, it was a little mushy, and the belly of the fish was a little black, with a hint of burnt smell.

Wei Zhang arched his hand towards Yao Yanyi and said with a smile: "Lord Yao, I haven't said hello to you yet." ”

Yao Yanyi is now also an official of the court from Wupin, although his official position is only half a level shorter than Wei Zhang, but Wei Zhang is a general who controls thousands of elites and is reused by the emperor, which can be described as the emperor's favorite general, and the son of heaven is a close minister. Yao Yanyi is just a dispensable member of the five grades who is responsible for the greening of mountains and forests, and the status of the two can be said to be worlds apart.

Now Wei Zhang calls him 'Lord Yao', and his attitude is upright and gentle, and his eyes are extremely sincere, and he doesn't see the slightest hint of ridicule. In front of Xiao Lin, Yao Yanyi didn't feel good, so he had to arch his hand and said lightly: "Don't dare." General Wei was really polite. ”

"Well, since Lord Yao said so, then General Ben will not be polite to Lord Yao." As he spoke, General Wei lifted his robe, turned around and squatted beside Yao Yanyu, staring at the grilled fish in Miss Yao's hand while handing over the spice jar at hand.

Lord Yao had a mouthful of blood in his throat, and he almost raised his foot and kicked this person into the river with an impulse. Xiao Lin looked at Wei Zhang's sturdy back, touched his chin thoughtfully, and turned his head to look at Yao Yanyi.

"It's time to sprinkle some salt, right?" The voice is so close, low and soft, slightly hoarse, and extremely sexy.

Yao Yanyu's heart twitched fiercely, she was stunned, she looked back at him in a daze, and didn't speak.

"Whoa." The spice jar in Wei Zhang's hand was raised again.

Yao Yanyu took it silently, picked a little salt with a small spoon, and gently sprinkled it on the fish. The salt particles fell into the charcoal fire with a crackling sound. The red fire should be on her face, and it was very charming and very warm with a shy face.

Wei Zhang's hand at his side clenched slightly, and his eyes darkened and darkened.

"Someone!" Yao Yanyi suddenly shouted, waking up the two people next to the fire.

Yao Yanyu was busy roasting the fish on the iron grate, while Wei Zhang lifted his robe and simply sat on the ground.

"Bring out the wine and food, and ask General Wei to use it together." After Yao Yanyi gasped, he commanded.

"Yes." Seeing that the master's face was not good, Tian Luo and Shen Jiang didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly entered the cabin and lifted the small kang table out and put it on the deck. Banxia and Mai Dong hurriedly took out two sets of bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses and placed them on the small kang table.

"General Wei, General Tang." Yao Yanyi held back his anger and invited, "Please sit down and have a drink together." ”

Wei Zhang turned around at this time, smiled, and said, "Lord Yao is still polite. ”

Yao Yanyi glanced at Wei Zhang coldly and sat down first.

Xiao Lin also invited with a smile: "General Wei, come and sit." ”

Tang Xiaoyi had already finished eating the fish just now, pursed his mouth unsatisfied, and asked Yao Yanyu, "Miss Yao, how did you grill this fish?" It tastes so good! It's the best fish I've ever tasted. ”

Wei Zhang's cold eyes swept over, and with a wave of his hand, two raw fish wearing haode were thrown in front of Tang Xiaoyi's eyes.

General Tang's hand was quick, and he raised his hand to catch the iron skewer before it was inserted into his nostrils, and asked dissatisfiedly: "General, this raw fish is not delicious." ”

Wei Zhang coldly smashed three words: "Bake it yourself!" ”

"But I won't!" Tang Xiaoyi shrugged his shoulders innocently and looked at Yao Yanyu pitifully.

Yao Yanyu chuckled, "Give it to me." General Tang went over there and sat and ate wine. ”

When Tang Xiaoyi handed over the two fish in his hand to Yao Yanyu, he deliberately made a grimace at Wei Zhang.

Yao Yanyu smiled helplessly and arranged the fish on the iron grate. Cuiwei and Cuiping hurriedly reached out to help, and took some shrimp and small fish to roast.

Wei Zhang gave Tang Xiaoyi a cold look again, turned around, and sat around the four sides of the small kang table with Yao Yanyi and Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin raised his glass and smiled: "General Wei, I didn't expect us to meet here, it's really a coincidence." ”

Wei Zhang smiled slightly, didn't say much, raised his glass and touched Xiao Lin, and then did it.

Tang Xiaoyi hurriedly leaned over, took the wine jug and poured wine for Xiao Lin and Wei Zhang, and asked with a smile: "Master Xiao, I didn't expect you to be with Master Yao?" ”

"Because I happen to be on the same road as Master Yao, we are both going to Jiangnan to take office, we are in the same city and one boat, so we can take care of it on the road." But how could General Wei, the big celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, be here? ”

Wei Zhang said calmly: "Naturally, I am doing an errand for the emperor. ”

"Oh! haha！ That's what I said. Xiao Lin saw that Wei Zhang didn't want to say more, and guessed in his heart that his identity was sensitive, and he was sent by the emperor to do something secret, so he didn't ask more, and only smiled: "No matter what, it is fate for the four of us to meet again." Come, let's have a toast. ”

Yao Yanyi also knew that Wei Zhang was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so he didn't want to be too mean, so he picked up the wine glass, and the four of them touched it.

"Oops!" A burnt smell penetrated into her nostrils, Yao Yanyu suddenly came back to her senses, just listening to what was being said here, and when she was careless, she forgot to move her hand, and the fish that had just been roasted on one side was also pasted on the other side. So he hurriedly reached out to get the grilled fish, but forgot to put on the handkerchief, his fingers touched the iron skewer, and he was scalded, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Ah! ”

"Girl, I'm coming!" Cui Wei hurriedly reached for the grilled fish and brought it to the plate.

Cui Ping saw Yao Yanyu biting her fingers, so she asked, "Is the girl hot?" ”

"It's fine." Yao Yanyu looked at her reddened fingertips and shook her head.

"This fish is mush...... Don't eat it, right? Cuiwei looked at the grilled black fish and asked in a low voice.

"Throw it away." Yao Yanyu bit her fingertips and said.

"Bring it." At the same time, Wei Zhang spoke indifferently.

Belch? Cuiwei looked at the general in embarrassment, and then at her own girl.

"Don't waste it." Wei Zhang once again emphasized, "When the army was besieged in the desert during the march and battle, the grass roots and tree bark were eaten. It's a fish, it's a pity to lose it. ”
