Chapter Forty-Three: Soaring
Seeing that the Son of Heaven was gentle and not angry, Chu Lin was not good at blindly being tough, after all, he was a family, he was not stupid, he was just here to ask for an explanation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the next moment, Yan Su's face changed, he sneered coldly, and in a very disdainful tone, he glanced at the blue-clothed young man who was standing straight, and said lightly, "In what capacity do you question a member of the fifth rank of the imperial court?" The tail of her eyes was slightly raised, full of oppression, and she said, "Do you know that what you said just now is enough for you to stay in Dali Temple until your son marries a daughter-in-law!" ”
"Poof!" The tea that Cai You drank squirted out in a straight line again, holding back his laughter, and not daring to laugh, made his pink cheeks dyed purple, Cai You quietly gave a thumbs up, and made a "absolute" accent, too amazing, and the mouth was too poisonous, but Chu Lin's face became angry red when he was refuted, embarrassed, and the crooked reasoning was misinterpreted by Lord Yan like this, and she couldn't say anything to question, she was amazing.
After Chu Lin was stunned for a moment, his hand tightly dragged the washed white cloth, trembling so much that everyone could see how strong this scholar's anger was, and his handsome cheeks were also flushed with anger, but before the young man could speak angrily, he slapped the black wooden desk and asked him to go out!
"Come on, please leave the Yan Mansion," looking at him head-on, Yan Su smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, "I think, Chu Lin probably doesn't look down on my Yan Mansion, and thinks that I, a flattering villain, have soiled your clothes as a talented man of Chu, even so, I still be conscious, what do you say, a talented man of Chu?" ”
Before Chu Lin could speak, he was dragged away by Jiang Zhelian, who was standing outside the door, like an object.
was just dragged out, and bumped into a brocade-clothed boy head-on, not a child, but a weak person, in fact, a half-grown teenager.
"Oops, my nose!" The voice of the young man in brocade was soft and wet, like an afternoon bean paste snack for the children of nobles. Chu Lin heard such a soft complaint, and couldn't help but feel half of the anger in his heart.
But in an instant, he turned his face and cut Jiang Zhe's stiff palm dragging him, and said angrily, "Let go!" Tell Yan Su, I won't just forget it, people with wolf ambitions should be killed! As he walked, the angry scolding echoed in the Yanfu until he left, and the murderous voice seemed to be still audible, and he couldn't swallow the words.
The young man in brocade, oh, that is, Princess Kunyi was surprised, "How can there be such a person, it's strange." ”
Jiang Zhe stayed away from her, bent down slightly, and said, "Is Your Highness looking for my master?" "I don't think so, there are more people like this in the world, and the noble princess stays in the palace with fine clothes and food, and she doesn't know the suffering of the people
Kun Yi has grown up slowly in recent years, and she can also see a slight disdain between Jiang Zhe's eyebrows, she pursed her lips, raised a smile and said, "Cousin Ren'an heard that Cai You, the son of the Hou of Xining, is also in the house, and my cousin said that I want to catch up with him." ”
"The princess sent someone to come, so why bother to come herself?" Jiang Zhe was puzzled. Are you here to find out the secret?
Hearing this, a faint layer of red floated on Princess Kunyi's pink and lovely cheeks, as if she was shy, and whispered, "Well, I just wanted to call someone to come, but I just wanted to call someone here, but I haven't seen it yet, so I can only come by myself." Seeing Jiang Zhe's stiff face, she immediately said, "I'm not saying that Lord Yan can't afford to buy a servant, Lord Yan is a courtier, and my cousin said that it is a courtesy to come and express my gratitude to my lord in person." ”
Jiang Zhe sighed, the more he talked, the more he suffered, there was no other expression on his cold face, he only said, "The grass people are just a commoner, and they don't dare to take the princess's explanation, so I'll go and talk to the adults and the prince." ”
Kun Yi bowed and behaved, "Thank you Jiang Guard." ”
"Not necessarily." Jiang Zhe arched his hand, turned his head and walked towards the study, just as he took a step, he heard a question as light as a mosquito and a fly behind him.
"What was the name of, well, the man in blue just now?" After asking this sentence, Kun Yi felt that her face was about to burn red, it was a curious sentence, but it turned into a frivolous woman's speech, she was really sorry for the identity of the royal princess, and ran away.
"His name is Chu Lin."
Kunyi's back paused, didn't look back, and flew out of the corner like a swallow.
In the study, Cai You, who heard the call of the county lord of Ren'an, knocked on his forehead, felt a headache, and quickly stood up with his upturned legs, said goodbye to Yansu, walked outside, and said to himself, "What a female devil." ”
When Cai You's figure completely disappeared at the door, Pei Yuan, who had been holding a teacup, stood up, knelt down on one knee, burst into tears, and said excitedly, "Master, I have suffered all these years, if it weren't for the old master who let the old slave endure it, the old slave would have come to Kyoto long ago." He looked at Yan Su, who stood up in a hurry, his originally majestic face was full of wrinkles, "I haven't seen you for many years, how is the master?" ”
Yan Su knelt in front of Pei Yuan, the smile of the past disappeared completely, and he grabbed Pei Yuan's hand tightly, his lips trembled violently, "Uncle, Ah Su is not doing well," the cruelty and resentment in her wet eyes at this moment were extremely strong, "Ah Su hate!" Unwilling! They are powerful enough to trample everyone under their feet! Then I'm going to taste that too! ”
Pei Yuan stared at the obsession in Yan Su's eyes, he couldn't say half a sentence, he closed his eyes, and the words he said were astringent, hot at the corners of his mouth, "This is a point of no return, whether it is life or death, it is a point of no return." ”
Maybe he doesn't know his little apprentice at all, although he was stubborn when he was a child, he only had the cuteness of a child, but why did he grow up, but he became a different person.
There were only two people kneeling on the ground in the quiet study at the moment, Pei Yuan seemed to be several years old, his face was full of exhaustion, he felt that he was really old, and his palm could no longer hold the young children of the past. An orchid bathed in the sun by the window was fresh and moving, it was one of Pei Yuan's favorite flowers, and at this moment, there was no longer it in his eyes.
"Uncle Pei, I'm sorry," Yan Su turned his head and didn't look at him again, but his hand grabbed Pei Yuan's wrist tightly, "But don't you think that since the day they asked me to marry, I am no longer me, or maybe from that day on, it has been a point of no return." I don't want to go into the harem and serve people in Israel. Her voice was very soft and fell into Pei Yuan's ears, weighing as much as a thousand catties.
Her eyes were burning like firelight, shining brightly, Pei Yuan was in a trance, as if through the sun, she saw that her childhood words were like picking a peach, her small body kept falling from the tree, and she kept climbing up, disappointment was invisible in her eyes, only indomitable stubbornness, she was immersed in abuse and spitting since she was a child, and she understood the meaning of the world to her better, and it was clearer how to go in the future.
Pei Yuan's perspective fell on the dark green leaf petals of the orchid swaying in the wind, and slowly stroked his legs and feet stiffly and stood up, "I have always understood that you are not the kind of person who eats and waits for death, and you don't want to wear off your courage to expand in a comfortable life, you should be an eagle," his gaze revealed a strong light, "An eagle soaring high in the sky!" ”
Yes, the eagle that should not fall.
Pei Yuan swept away the previous decadence and hesitation, his momentum was like an incomparably sharp blade, a vanguard blade that broke through everything and plunged into the enemy's chest.
Yan Su smiled happily and hugged Pei Yuan's broad body like a child, and only at this time did Yan Su suddenly realize that Uncle Pei was a warmer existence than his blood relatives.
The two of them sat back in their original seats, and sat on Pei Yuan's side, as if they were children, listening to the earnest teachings of both master and father, and the treacherous clouds between the courts. Pei Yuan is not an ordinary housekeeper, he is a cronie who has been with the head of the Wen family since he was a child, although he is a housekeeper, Pei Yuan is the companion of the text, and he is also the son of the subordinate families of the Wen family, which can be regarded as the existence of the second leader of the Wen family. Following the text, he studied the Four Books and Five Classics when he was a child, studied under the Cao family of the Guiguzi lineage, and also studied the wonderful treatises of the Legalists, and more frequently traveled to and from the trade between the frontiers. Yan Su has studied with Pei Yuan since she was a child, and often travels south and north within two months, and she is all taught by Pei Yuan with all her skills.
If you say that in this world, who is the person who Yan Su believes in the most, it is Pei Yuan.
At the moment, the two masters and apprentices sorted out and analyzed the hazy forces, status and rights of the various parties in the imperial court, as well as the various struggles and games between them, so that that night, the twilight yellow light in the study was always bright, and no one dared to disturb it.
The county lord of Ren'an seemed to be just looking at Cai You, the prince of Xining, and then took Princess Guishan to wander around the courtyard, and did not disturb Yan Su, during which Cai You accompanied him throughout the process. For some reason, the expression of the prince when he left the house was very subtle, as if he was happy and distressed, and Li Jia, who was following behind him, couldn't understand it, and when the county lord of Ren'an said goodbye, his face was full of spring breeze and triumphant.
"Tell your master, I will often come to see her when I have time." After saying this, Su Zhen unfolded the brocade fan, took the two brocade children, and walked away.
In the next two or three days, because there were no visitors, the little overlord Cai You seemed to be depressed, and he no longer ran over every day to find Jiang Zhe to stalk. After a few days of quiet days, he was also happy for Pei Yuan's compromise. Quiet and undisturbed time is always limited, at noon on the fourth day, Yan Su just changed out of her five-grade court clothes, and the crown of the second beam was also changed to three beams, and she planned to go to the dining house to have some lunch, and make do.
"Senator, Master Tongzheng has called you to go." The little guy who suddenly ran panted and said, indicating that something was wrong and he was in a hurry.
He turned his head around, reviewed what he had done, and smiled back politely, "I'm tired, I'll go." His hand took a little bit of silver from his sleeve pocket and put it into the hand of the servant.
The little guy grinned toothily, quietly put the money away, and bowed, "Thank you, sir." ”
After he left, Yan Su got up and walked to the deepest part of the official office. After mixing in the official offices of the General Administration, I found that there are usually some low-ranking people with a lot of money in their pockets, who are the mouthpieces of their superiors, and can even convey instructions to other official offices on behalf of the General Administration. Anything that a boss can't do, it's up to them to do. This kind of person has to give both sticks and dates, and they will not snub you, otherwise they will not even pass on a word to you.
The official office is divided into three courtyards, the outermost is the outer hall and the waiting room, the middle is the file and the middle and low-level officials of the General Administration, and the innermost is the place of the General Administration.
"The lower official has seen Lord Tongzheng," Yan Su bowed slightly. She had only seen this Lord Han Chao twice, and knew that he was the younger brother of Han Yun, the secretary of the ministry, and also the second uncle of Han Xuan. She and Han Chao are typical of each other and do not offend each other.
