Chapter Ninety-Nine: Closing the Little Black House?
This is the smell of incense that I once smelled on Xun Yu's body......
Yes, not only the Son of Heaven and his concubines live in the palace, but also some halls are used for deliberations and offices. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, Xu Du is not like the traditional capital city such as Luoyang, Chang'an palaces are many and prosperous, but it is small old and close, although some of the new halls are being built, as the current situation, as far as a capital city is concerned, it is still very poor.
Fortunately, there is no queen mother in the Son of Heaven, and there are no two concubines in the harem, so I can't live in a few halls, so most of the halls are used as the office space of the courtiers.
This Wenhua Hall should be the place where Xun Yu handles official business on weekdays, and he can't run.
Although Lin Jun didn't know what Xun Yu thought of her now, how much he knew about her secrets. But she trusts his character extremely much, even if she used her life-saving grace as a bargaining chip in exchange for the qualification to participate in the talent club this time. Theoretically speaking, she and Xun Yu can be regarded as two clear. But she also believes that as long as she doesn't do anything to endanger Cao Jun, Xun Yu will not do anything despicable to her under any circumstances, such as torture and extortion of confessions.
More than ten futons have been placed in the hall, and there are wooden plaques with everyone's names written in front of the futon, Xun Yu stood in the hall and said to everyone gently: "Everyone, please take a seat." ”
Everyone also saluted Xun Yu one by one. Today's Xun Yu wears a very formal court dress, standing on the luxurious hall, looking solemn and mature, with an elegant temperament lingering all over his body, perfect and not like a mortal.
Lin Jun quietly pinched his fingers and calculated, he was about thirty-three years old this year. It's really a talent in troubled times, and he has a status above ten thousand people under the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao in just thirty-three. If it is a peaceful and prosperous world now, he will probably be a petty official because he is young and buried in the sea of people.
She looked down to find her place, and saw that the wooden sign with her name written on it was the first one on the right hand side of the throne. She knelt on the futon, and Chen Deng, who was directly opposite, smiled at her. Yes, this is the order of the seats in the competition.
The inner supervisor and the maid rushed in and poured tea for everyone present.
Xun Yu first said some polite words to congratulate them, and then he got to the point: "You guys take a break here, and please come to the apse for those who read the names later." ”
Then he left the main hall with his hands in his hands.
Is this the rhythm to talk about individually? Or an interview? Lin Jun was suspicious.
The old inner eunuch stood in front of the hall, slowly opened a bamboo roll, and began to call by name: "Xuzhou Chen Deng." ”
Chen Deng immediately stood up and went to the apse, the sound insulation effect in the hall was good, and no one knew what he and Xun Yu talked about. Lin Jun only felt that he was sitting stiffly on his knees, his legs were about to be broken, and he sat casually in Guo Jia's Mansion on weekdays.
After talking for about half an hour, Chen Deng came out, and there was no sadness or joy on his face, so that others couldn't guess it.
Lin Jun estimates that everyone else has the same idea in their minds now - everyone has to talk about it for so long, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish talking about it this day.
Immediately after that, Huang Heng and Feng An, who were ranked second and third, also entered separately, but they all came out again with about half a pillar of incense, and they didn't know what Xun Yu said to them, although the two tried their best to hide it, Lin Jun could also see the faint joy on their faces, maybe Xun Yu promised them something.
What would Xun Yu say to himself? Is it in his hands that she will be left to stay? Will he persuade her to leave again, or will he keep her because of those two life-saving graces?
She suddenly regretted that she had used the grace of saving her life as a threat to force Xun Yu to accept her name. The former ...... of the two Lin Jun's self-proclaimed friendship may have broken down.
"Lin Jun-" The inner eunuch finally called her name, the sharp voice dragged on for a long time, she reflexively stood up, no longer cranky, and stepped into the apse with the determination of "the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth".
The apse was empty and dimly lit, and Xun Yu sat alone in the shadows, so that Lin Jun couldn't see his expression clearly.
She took a few steps towards him, and there was an empty futon next to her, but Xun Yu didn't teach her to sit down, she couldn't sit, so she could only wait for instructions.
"Chen Fu." Xun Yu called a younger inner eunuch beside him, and his voice was warm, "You take Miss Lin to the side hall, and then go and pass on the next person." ”
"Yes." The inner supervisor named Chen Fu responded, walked quickly to Lin Jun's side, and said respectfully, "Miss Lin, please come here." ”
Side hall? When you get to the apse, why do you have to go to the side hall? Lin Jun sighed in her heart, what is the situation, and Xun Yu immediately passed on another person, didn't she even give her the opportunity to interview, and wanted to lock her up in a small black room?
She didn't leave with Chen Fu immediately, just stood there, looking at Xun Yu with a bitter face. In this light, she couldn't see his expression clearly, and she didn't know if he could see hers.
"Mr. Xun, what I have done recently is really involuntarily, and I handed over the name post that day...... It's really not my wish, Lin Jun is ashamed. Lin Jun Chen pleaded, she had an ominous premonition, she was only afraid that once this side hall was gone, there would be no chance to confide these words to Xun Yu.
"I know." Xun Yu's voice couldn't hear joy or sorrow, but it seemed to bring a hint of comfort, "Miss Lin, I know very well what your heart is, and you have saved my life many times, I have never repaid it, if I talk about guilt, I should be ashamed." You...... Let's go to the side hall with Chen Fu first. ”
Lin Jun stood in place, unable to take a step. She wanted to ask Xun Yu what was waiting for her in the hall, but she couldn't.
"Go ahead." Seeing that she didn't move, Xun Yu didn't accuse, but repeated it gently.
"Yes." She had no choice but to respond and follow Chen Fu to leave quickly.
The side hall is separated from the main hall by a courtyard, and the space is smaller, in Lin Jun's opinion, it can no longer be regarded as a palace, if it weren't for the waiter guarding outside, she would think that it was a firewood room inside! If it weren't for Xun Yu personally telling her to come over and change to another person, she would have thought that someone was going to tie her up and torture her again!
Chen Fu was still staring at her from the side, so she had to inadvertently touch the short knife hidden in her waist, adjust her breathing, and push the door in.
As soon as the door was pushed open, he saw two heavily armed soldiers guarding the door, Lin Junqiang suppressed the urge to draw a knife, and tried his best to close the door calmly.
They didn't do it to themselves, and she couldn't do it first, this is in the palace, and drawing a knife is a big crime of rebellion.
Although there is no light in the side hall, two windows are opened on the other side, and the visibility is much brighter than Xun Yu's apse. As soon as Lin Jun saw the person in the middle, he gasped.
The man was dressed casually, not as solemn as usual, nor kneeling like Xun Yu who was obedient, just cross-legged and looking at Lin Jun with blazing eyes.
"Sit down." While drinking tea, he pointed to a futon facing him and said to Lin Jun. (To be continued.) )
