Chapter Eighty-Three: Constant Visitors
Wang Zhen'er and the three of them lived in the garden for three days, and after three days, the three of them said goodbye and went down the mountain. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Moyu asked them to be sent to the bottom of the mountain and told them to pay attention to safety.
In the viewing pavilion.
Yetian came back from the bottom of the mountain, lay on the railing and said with a bitter face: "When they leave, I will have a hard time again." β
Mo Yu handed over a cup of tea and asked, "But you sent them all to the city gate?" β
"Don't worry! The journey was very smooth, they didn't have a chance to start, besides, the three of them were not ordinary people, whoever had a good one, the capital would have to be shocked, otherwise, Guiyuan was the best place to start, and they didn't start. β
"It's better to be careful, I don't want to hurt the innocent."
Since Moyu lived here, the assassinations have never stopped, and in the three days that Wang Zhen'er and the others lived in the garden, they were much cleaner. But if the three of them have a good relationship on the way back, she can't get out of the relationship. Mo Yu put down the teacup and asked, "Is there any movement in the capital?" β
Yetian stretched his waist, lay on the recliner, rested his head behind his head, squinted his eyes and said, "There is no movement." The Yuan family still lives in the Ji Mansion, the Wang family and the Sikong family are busy with marriage, your second brother has been diligent recently, and he stays in his room every day to read. β
"What about the palace?"
"Palace? How do I know about the things in the palace? β
Mo Yu rolled her eyes and said, "Come less, love to talk or not." β
"The palace is calm, the emperor handles government affairs during the day, and goes to sleep with the harem concubines at night, as for the queen mother? There was no special move, but I heard that before we came here, the Yuan family had entered the palace. β
It was probably the Ji family who let her enter the palace, taught Ji Feicui how to blow the wind at the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother to send someone to solve her. The emperor no longer trusts Ji Fu as much as before, and it is better to leave things like killing people to the queen mother! Even if something happens, they still have a mother-son relationship, so there will be no big fight.
"Aren't there any rumors in the capital that are unfavorable to me?"
Yetian turned his head to look at her strangely, how could he ask that? "What rumors can there be?"
"No, it stands to reason that I burned down the ancestral hall and forced the Yuan family to leave the Ji Mansion, and I became a murder suspect again, how could it be calm?"
"The first two things are forgotten, after all, it is not a glorious thing. The latter thing is a bit of a rumor, but this case is Liu Chenxuan's responsibility, and as soon as he explains, the rumors about you are all good rumors. Hey, you know what? He admires you, he didn't expect that there were women as smart as him in Zhou Kingdom, he said that if you were a man, you would definitely be able to sweep the entire Zhou Kingdom, and you would be invincible in the world with a combination of two swords. β
"Cut. But it's really rare that he even praised me. β
"Have fun!"
What's so happy, it's just that he met a person who is on the same level as him and rubs his sharpness, if she is the same as usual, it is estimated that he will not even look at it.
Xiang Rong walked over the path, reached the outside of the pavilion, and said, "Niangniang, someone is here again." β
Someone else is coming. "Who?"
"Second Young Master Ji, and Sikong Gongzi."
When did she return to the garden become a fragrant dumpling, just left three ladies, and two sons of the family, how can this wind blow to this Wuyan Mountain! So, the two walked to the door to greet each other, and sure enough, the two people standing outside the door were not Ji Zhongting and Sikong Jun.
"Why are you two here?"
Sikong Jun smiled: "What, aren't you welcome?" β
"No, just a little curious, aren't you two supposed to be busy? Why do you have time to come to me? β
"Originally, I wanted to come a few days ago, but because I heard that there were a few young ladies living here, it was inconvenient for us to come and disturb us."
Then he is well-informed enough, and as soon as the three young ladies were sent back to the city in the night, the two sons of the family rushed to hear the news. Mo Yu stood up and looked at Ji Zhongting who was standing aside, and said, "I thought you would never see me again?" β
Ji Zhongting was a little at a loss, looked left and right, and said, "I just heard that you are quiet here and suitable for studying, so I just came to stay for a few days." β
There is no need to go to this deep mountain and forest to find a quiet place to study, there is a quiet grass hall to study in Jifu. Mo Yu looked behind Ji Zhongting, and did bring a few boxes of things, but he didn't know if it was books or daily necessities.
"Sikong, do you want to live here too?"
Yetian's brows squeezed into a Sichuan character, Sikong, when did the two of them become so close, they both called each other's names. The boss said unhappily: "Hey, you'd better go back tonight, there are no extra rooms here!" β
Moyu felt inexplicable, where did it smell so big? "Don't listen to him, there's still a room."
Before returning to the garden, it was just a temple on the mountain, and there were only two or three rooms. Later, Moyu moved in, and because he wanted to give his subordinates a place to live, he expanded a lot, and more than a dozen rooms were more than enough to live.
"Then I'll be here for a few days."
"Come in!" Instructed the subordinates in the back: "Bring things in!" It just so happens that the room where Miss Wang and her lives has not been cleaned up yet, so you will just live there! β
Next to the coffee table, Mo Yu poured tea and asked, "Aren't you supposed to be preparing for the big wedding at home, why did you have time to come here?" β
When Sikong heard this question, he was secretly sad in his heart, and he was afraid that he would have to bury it in his heart for a lifetime. God knows how much he wanted to see her. "My grandfather rushed to do the wedding, where is my turn to worry about. I just hide from you and clean up for a few days. It's been a long time since I've been catching up with Yetian, so it's nostalgic. β
"It seems that you are not in a good mood, so let's play a tune to relieve your boredom, and by the way, as a welcome gift to welcome you back to the garden."
"Okay!"
Xiang Rong went to get the jade flute, and as soon as Yetian and Ji Zhongting saw the flute, they knew that it was the one that Moyu couldn't put down. Mo Yu took it and asked with a smile, "What song do you want to hear?" β
Sikong didn't think twice and said, "The phoenix seeks the phoenix." β
Everyone in the room looked at Sikong in unison. Mo Yu was the first to come back to her senses and said with a smile: "You think your fiancΓ©e is crazy, and you think of me as Wang Zhen'er." β
Because of these words, the atmosphere in the room eased a little, and Mo Yu continued: "Feng Qiuhuang, you better stay until the wedding night to listen to it!" A song of mountains and flowing water, please enjoy it. β
The jade flute is on the lips, the fingers are lightly touched, the dantian is slightly mentioned, and a melodious and pleasant mountain flowing water overflows from the fingertips. People seem to be in the secluded realm surrounded by high mountains and flowing waters, the mountains and trees stand up, the birds and insects chirp, the flowing water gurgles and flows, the runes are beaten, and there are fishermen in the river fishing, singing evening songs.
Sikong's hand hanging to the side clutched his robe tightly, and the shock in his eyes could not be concealed. It's her, a year ago, she and the emperor came here, and what they heard was this flute, but they didn't expect it to be her.
If she was willing to come out to see him, then now, will she be the one who has become her wife? It turned out that fate had already fallen on them, but they were stupid at the time, but they missed it stubbornly. Now, she has become the imperial concubine and a monarch with him. And he, too, is about to have a family background, and they go their separate ways.
At the end of the song, Moyu put down the jade flute, but saw Sikong with a sad look on his face, and looked at the night sky suspiciously. Yetian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. Mo Yu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, and said, "Sikong, Sikong." β
Sikong Jun came back to his senses, but saw that both of them were looking at him worriedly, and hurriedly said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was distracted." β
"Isn't it, my flute reminds you of an unpleasant past, I'm really sorry, I originally wanted to make you happy, but I didn't want it to backfire."
Sikong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, it's not, it's just that your flute sound is very good, which reminds me of the happy days I used to have with my grandfather." β
That's good, Moyu suggested, "Really? Otherwise, you and Yetian haven't seen each other for a long time, or the two of you catch up on the old days, and I'll take Zhongting around to see? β
Yetian immediately raised his hands in agreement, this commonplace, the farther away from Moyu, the better. "Okay, anyway, Sikong and I have something to say."
Ji Zhongting and Mo Yu then stood up and walked out of the room. Ye Tian looked at their disappearing figures, and then looked at Sikong, who had not yet withdrawn his gaze, and said coldly: "The person in your heart is her, right?" β
Sikong didn't expect Yetian to ask such a question, and said with a weak heart: "How is it possible?" β
"People have already gone away, you are still watching, how can it not be her. But Sikong, I want to remind you that this person, you can only keep her in your heart in your life, don't show such a look in the future, there are people from the emperor everywhere. After returning to Beijing, you should pay more attention to it, if you are discovered by someone with a heart, your Sikong family's reputation will be ruined, and it will not be good for her reputation. β
"God played a big joke on me, I met her a year ago, and here she was, she should have been mine."
"Sikong." Yetian couldn't help but aggravate his tone and said, "Don't say this kind of thing again in the future." β
"I'm sorry."
Yetian shook his head, everything can be solved, but lovesickness is difficult to change, and the torment is like fire. Then he changed the topic and said: "How is the scientific expedition arranged?" β
Sikong also knew that Yetian deliberately diverted this topic, so he smiled and said: "The emperor arranged for grandpa to be the chief examiner, and Wang Pu and Ji Gangyang to be the deputy examiners. However, the candidates' roster and all the papers had to be presented to the emperor for inspection, and Yu Linjun was also arranged to maintain order in the examination room. As long as the emperor approves the cinnabar papers, you can enter the second round of examinations, and finally select ten winners to conduct the palace examination in the Jiying Palace. β
Ye Tiantou leaned back slightly, and said happily: "Fortunately, I am not in the capital now, otherwise I would not have died of exhaustion." Hey, who will decide the exam questions! β
"Of course it's the emperor's decision! All the exam questions are set by the emperor, for the sake of fairness, the emperor will write the exam questions one hour before the exam, and President Yun will personally escort them to the examination room and personally deliver them to the candidates. β
In all dynasties, there will be imperial examinations, for convenience, the emperor generally issued the questions a few days in advance, and then sent someone to put the exam questions in a safe place and send someone to guard them. However, there are always some people who take risks, in order to know the exam questions in advance, so they will do everything possible to know the questions. Some high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China even took advantage of their connections to inquire about the situation of the examination questions, thus creating an unfair phenomenon. Some people who have no ink on their minds end up on the list, and some people who are really talented and learn can only fall to Sun Shan.
In doing so, the emperor showed fairness in the treatment of all students, and prevented the possibility of leakage of questions. Moreover, he wants to choose useful people, not mediocre children of families who only know how to eat and drink.
Ye Tian tapped his fingers on the coffee table and said, "I see, after this scientific expedition, I am afraid that the people of the court will have to change another batch." β
Sikong nodded, very much in favor of Yetian's words. "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the emperor has been on the throne for almost two years, and most of the officials in the court are still old ministers when the emperor was in power. This is the first exam after the emperor ascended the throne, and it is natural to select his henchmen, and some officials who rely on the old and sell the old should also be the time to return to their hometowns. β
Ye Tian smiled and said, "The emperor's trick is really powerful. I see, some people's previous relationships are in vain. β
"What they have is money anyway."
"I'm a poor ghost, why doesn't anyone come to talk to me, anyway, I'm also a celebrity next to the emperor, don't you say?"
"Then forget it, whoever has the strength to fight may still bribe you, and whoever writes the article will definitely not."
"Cut, look down on people!"
The two of them are talking about business, and they are talking happily. But the two sisters and brothers who were walking side by side in the garden were silent.
Mo Yu didn't like such a quiet atmosphere, in addition to being quiet, there was also alienation, vigilance and embarrassment. Mo Yu couldn't guess Ji Zhongting's thoughts, if he hated her, why would he still come here? He knew she lived here.
After a long silence, Mo Yu was not good at enlivening the atmosphere, so he had to keep his mouth shut and not speak, but Ji Zhongting really couldn't hold it back, looked at the surrounding environment, and said, "I didn't expect you to live in such a place before." β
This is indeed not as good as Ji Mansion, and even a kitchen in Ji Mansion is better than her bedroom. Simple windows, simple bricks, simple wooden floors, simple wooden walls, but she loves it and loves this rustic style. "Although it is not as delicate as the Ji Mansion, it is what I like, I don't feel any grievances, once I was thinking, if I was allowed to live here for the rest of my life, I would also be willing."
"Do you know what people who have been here say about it when they go back?"
Mo Yu was curious what they would say about her, so she asked, "What do they say?" β
"A place where a poor and white man lived, there was nothing but four walls and tiles. The masters often say to the minions, if you make such a mistake again, you will be sent to Wuyan Mountain. Hehe, you say, how much they don't like it here. β
Looking at his slightly flying expression, Mo Yu stopped, looked at the sky in the distance, and still asked, "I thought that you would be angry with me, even hate me, and you wouldn't want to see me again?" β
Ji Zhongting also stopped, found a clean step and sat down, and said, "I never wanted to hate you, I just hated you a little at first, no matter what, you can't put that fire." I'm even a little afraid of you, you don't know how terrible you were that night, have you ever thought that if you can't control it, all of us will have to stay in the ancestral hall. β
Mo Yu also found a clean place, sat down, looked at him and said, "I'm crazy, but I also have my bottom line, I don't hurt people's lives." β
"Sister, is your mother's business true?"
"What do you think?"
