Chapter 4: Haze

"What? Tong Shi thinks this position is not good? ”

In a daze, in front of Yan Su, there stood a tall aunt, with the same clothes as Aunt Rong Wu, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, with a gold belt and red dress, and a younger face, unlike Rong Wu, who was kind, a little aggressive, and had a cold tone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Su was not in a hurry, and saluted Zhang Hou, "Su is terrified, how dare you think it's bad?" It's just that he has just arrived, and he is so high-ranking that he doesn't match his status. And I am very fascinated by the culture of the Central Plains, and I would like to understand it from the beginning of the book. ”

Zhang Hou seemed to have expected it, and he didn't have much difficulty, waved his hand to Xinbai, and said with a smile, "Too modest, since you like it, you will start with the female official of the classics, and this position is in charge of the scriptures, books, notes, and several cases in the palace." Zhengqipin, you see, is it good? ”

Words bent lips. She bet right, Empress Zhang has a gentle temperament, is a smart and good woman, and has a deep understanding of government politics. She made a big salute to Zhang Hou, this time it was all a weekly ceremony, like a lady born in Zhong Mingding's family, a movement that can only be learned after practicing since childhood. "Thank you, mother."

"Rong Wu, take her down."

"Yes."

Yan Su's trembling cold palm suddenly loosened. The mind is slightly dizzy due to excessive ischemia. She still maintains a tall posture, without revealing the slightest flaw.

When the two of them disappeared in the layers of golden veil, they were nowhere to be seen in the end. Zhang Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and she stroked her delicate and slender eyebrows.

"I'm so afraid, I'm really afraid she doesn't understand." Zhang Hou smiled tiredly. Place the stiff back gently on the cold and hard phoenix.

"He's a smart man."

Shinbai said expressionlessly. "I hope she can be quiet, otherwise, Niangniang, this is a greater scourge than Concubine Xian!" There was a hint of murderous intent in her narrow eyes.

Zhang Hou shook his head, and Zhu Cui played a crisp and cold bright hall in the wide hall.

The unwillingness and ambition in her eyes are so strong, like the blazing light of the river of fire, she wants to burn everything! One thought of heaven, one thought of hell. ”

It has been snowing heavily for several days and nights in the imperial city, and the snow wool almost covers the entire heaven and earth, wrapped in silver for thousands of miles, like a silver-white dragon winding on the earth, stretching out its majestic body. This year is the thirty-second year of Chenxi, and it is the most auspicious year since Emperor Gao Zhen of Daye came to power.

It is also the first year that Yan dates back to Daye, she entered the Shangyi Bureau and became a female official of the Zhengqipin classics.

There are not many female officials in the Shangyi Bureau, and they are basically quiet and indifferent. The arrival of Yan Su, like an ant, has no impact on their lives. She was independent, Yan Su felt that it didn't matter, in Ruan Fang's days, life and death were unknown, bullying and ridicule abounded, here, at least it was quiet.

The female officials of the classics belong to the Shangyi Bureau, with five Shangyi on it, six Shangyi on it, and a palm on it. Shangyi Bureau is in charge of etiquette and daily life, and there are priests, musicians, praises, and guests. Shangyi Bureau has its own courtyard, which is located next to the bamboo forest, behind the Chongwen Pavilion. There are three major library rooms in the palace, one is the Chongwen Pavilion, the second is the Hongwen Pavilion, and the third is the Chongxian Pavilion, each of which has two school scholars. Yan Su was assigned to the Chongwen Pavilion, where he was in charge of scriptures, books, notes, and several cases. It's a quiet errand. But the chances of meeting nobles were too rare, and some young female officials were reluctant to do the errands of this classic. In the Chongwen Pavilion, there are only a few old eunuchs and two school scholars who are almost in the ground to take care of them.

The school scholars read the books of sages, and they looked at people with their noses, and even when they glanced at them, they felt that they had polluted their eyes, and they only cared about burying their heads in their books. Yansu is very funny, the Han people are too proud, they only learn their own knowledge, and foreign things are all ghost tricks, disdain them, and even reject outsiders, so if they go on, they will only close the door. No wonder Yuwen Zirong is not used to the customs of the Han people.

Chongwenkan is very large, and the number of bookshelves is dazzling, and each bookcase is a world of its own. The texts here seem to drown people like ants.

Yan Su pulled out a book and found a place to sit down. She looked at her female official clothes and smiled helplessly, still a little uncomfortable. It was like a cage binding her. Although this cage is gorgeous and beautiful. A black gauze hat decorated with flowers, a beaded forehead, a beaded sideburns, and a beaded earring; The purple collared robe, narrow sleeves, thorns and small sunflowers, surrounded by gold threads, beads sewn gold belts.

She looked at the bow-like shoes hidden under the robe, with small golden flowers on them. Every inch of this shows that Daye's wealth and luxury, the abundance of grain, and the magnificence of silk are all incomparable to the grassland.

The overly quiet environment made her relax, her heart was no longer tense, her pupils dilated, and she slowly wandered out of the world. She remembered her father's protection and teachings to her when she was a child. Yan Tai likes the culture of the Central Plains, and no one on the grassland can understand his behavior, so he transferred his enthusiasm to Yan Su, teaching her the poetry of the Central Plains, teaching her to practice calligraphy, teaching her to draw, and teaching her etiquette and music. Teach her to write articles. He taught her like a boy. I hope that Yan Su will inherit everything he taught himself, but unfortunately, this daughter only has hatred for him! I can't wait to kill my father with my own hands!

A cold anger spilled from between her brows, and Yan Su dug her fingernails like the tip of a knife into her flesh. The heart was stirring like a tide, the waves were crashing, and I was grief-stricken. Two emotions almost drove her to death.

She could never see clearly, her father's attitude towards her. Yan Tai is like an old man in a desperate situation, who wants to pull Yan Su to accompany the funeral, but is reluctant to let her lose a single hair. Why? Why? She didn't understand, really didn't. She longed for her father's love and mother's love so much that Heaven never showed her mercy, and she went to despair again and again.

"Smack!"

The crisp sound of landing, in the silent hall of books, is like a dusk drum and morning bell, waking up the almost enchanted Yan Su with a stick.

She shivered, gasped, and touched her forehead, all in cold sweat. Yan Su smiled bitterly, in the end, she is young, and her emotions can't be controlled freely, which is a fatal weakness for her now!

After slowly calming down, she looked up, and next to the bookshelf, there stood a man, in a mica-colored robe, without any fancy. He was probably looking for a book and accidentally dropped the book he pulled out on the ground. He turned sideways to her, and Yansu's gaze was like fire, causing him to turn around and face Yansu squarely.

The man is slightly emaciated, and his rhyme is really the glow of the day, clear and bustling, quiet and gentle. Yan Su had to sigh a man, Huai Lanhui and Heng Zhixi, and dispersed. This is a sentence in Chu Ci, but it makes Yan Su can't help but spit out.

But the man bowed his head unhurriedly, picked up the fallen book, and then calmly left.

The words were silent, and he watched him go away.

At a glance, both sides recognized each other's identities. Pretending not to know will avoid a lot of trouble. Neither of them wanted to know each other, they just wanted to avoid it quietly. But they don't understand that sometimes, some things, how to escape and can't escape.

Waiting for the words to return to Shangyi Bureau's own courtyard, it was almost noon.

When she came from the corridor to the east, she saw Shang Yi standing in the doorway. What did she come for and what was she doing? Yan Su stopped. Shang Yi's name is Han Xuan, and he is one year younger than Yan Su. Her identity is relatively unique, she is the eldest daughter of Lord Han Yun, the secretary of the ministry, and she has a stubborn temperament, and was sent to the palace by Lord Han to study the ancient Zhou rites. I hope Han Xuan will be calm and gentle.

It's just that she didn't expect that she was no longer bound by the eunuchs, and the more she let go.

"Ah, Yansu, you're here." Han Xuan's eyes lit up, filled with blazing and pure flames, so gorgeous, like the scorching rays of the sun, which could illuminate all the cold haze and generate heat. She walked briskly towards her.

Yan Su couldn't help but be stunned. Such vigor, the love and straightforwardness of the children of the prairie, the boiling and free blood, what she once had, it seems that none of them exists! She is like a vengeful and stubborn ghost, only her soul remains, and in the shadows, she silently moves forward with a sword, killing everyone who stands in her way!

All of this is because of my father, because of the Yan clan and the Yuwen clan.

Yan Su lowered his eyes, and tightly imprisoned the beast of desire with teeth and claws in his heart, and would never reveal the nightmare situation in the book hall. She bowed to Han Xuan, "I've seen Han Shangyi." ”

"So much courtesy, you and I are peers." Han Xuan's eyes flashed with stubbornness. but accepted the courtesy of Yan Su.

It's clear. It's not that Han Xuan doesn't understand, in fact, she understands everything and doesn't want to abide by it. I don't want to be hindered by this flowery landscape, and I lose myself. She was a sober person. Yan Su smiled implicitly, smart people, she likes to talk to smart people the most.

"Yes, Han Xuan."

"That's right." The eyes full of light bent down. She smiled, "This year, my father won't let me go back, and after the New Year, we have the custom of eating soup balls, which means reunion, and you can't eat alone, otherwise it will be unlucky." It just so happens that you're alone, so let's have a team. Han Xuan smiled.

Yan Su was a little surprised, the official eunuchs in the capital of Daye are like this, is it so familiar? She didn't talk to Han Xuan for more than ten sentences, and she invited strangers to have a reunion together?

As if seeing the surprise of Yan Su, Han Xuan smiled meaningfully, and spread his hands, "When you enter the palace, you must treat the palace as your home, and everyone in the palace is a family member." Why do you have to know each other? It's a pity that my father is a poor kid and doesn't understand this. ”

Yan Su looked at Han Xuan's smile, and suddenly felt that he had underestimated this Shang Yi.

"The custom of dumplings lasts for three days, which means that from today onwards, you and I will enjoy three days of reunion." Han Xuan came up, took Yan Su's arm, and pulled her into the silent room.

Surrounding the jade stove, Han Xuan took off the fox skin, and she said to Yan, "Although reading books is good, there are some things that cannot be learned in books, and only by constantly contacting, constantly failing, and constantly summarizing, can you gain a firm foothold in the palace." One thing that is especially important is the intricacies of the relationship. ”

Yan Su was shocked. She looked at Han Xuan in surprise, this was teaching her? Why?

Han Xuan maliciously admired Xia Yansu's expression, and she said, "Because you are a smart person." ”

Yan Su understood.

It's not a teaching, it's just a transaction. The treacherous way of survival of the court, maverick will not work, only by maintaining a smooth connection, broad grace can survive in the cracks. Although Yan Su is a foreigner, her identity is destined not to be an unknown female official in the future, just like Han Xuan, she was born in an official family, and the purpose of entering the palace is definitely not so simple as learning. Then, it is very, necessary, to win over this influential ally in the future.

"I see."

Han Xuan smiled even deeper.

This is the first step of the temptation of both sides, and they are generally satisfied.

Although Han Xuan's way of befriending her is not very simple. It's not that Yan Su doesn't understand this dirtyness, but she still appreciates the anger in Han Xuan's eyes, and her brilliant glance seems to be able to dispel the gloomy haze in her heart for a long time, how amazing. How contradictory it is to be ambitious, but yearn for the air of freedom.

"It's a magical and beautiful country, kid, and your ambition will meet more opportunities. Check it out. ”
