After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the sedan chair. The smile on Mrs. Wu's face was a little stiff, she looked inside a little, and said again: "Girl? ”

The Feng Yu was sitting in the sedan chair and was demented, and he didn't know that the person who opened the sedan curtain was calling himself. But when the woman stretched out her hand in front of her, she still smiled and said, "Girl, come down, you are home." Then she reached out and let the woman pinch it.

Mrs. Wu squeezed Feng Yu's hand, and her heart was not very steady. Although she had no contact with this girl, everyone in the family knew about the past. Besides, this girl is really an eye-catching item now, but I don't know what kind of madness my lord is doing, and I want to come home. The wives of the house didn't say anything, and they had to greet each other with smiles.

Feng Yu followed Mrs. Wu out of the sedan chair, looked around, and only asked, "Where is this?" ”

Everyone knew that this girl was crazy, but Mrs. Wu replied: "New home, you will live here in the future." ”

Feng Yu seemed to be unsteady in the new environment, and hurriedly turned around to find someone. Her maid, who had been serving with her until the eldest girl, saw it, and hurriedly followed her over to help her arm, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, girl, the slave is here." ”

Feng Yu was relieved at this time, and with this maid leading, he followed the housekeeper Wu Pozi and others to the main courtyard.

led all the way to Gong Qiu's courtyard, and first saluted Gong Qiu, and after seeing the ceremony, there was nothing else, so he let him take it into the room that had just been cleaned up. After boiling the tea lightly, she put it in the room and asked Feng Yu, "What else does my aunt want?" ”

Feng Yu didn't say anything, only her maid said, "It's nothing now, Sister Xie Zhang Luo." ”

Nothing else, and naturally no one stayed, but dispersed. Out of the yard, but muttering and gossiping, nothing else.

Over there, Mother He took Qingyan and He Biqing to see Feng Yu, and did not go to the main courtyard, but quietly returned to her room. The two children followed behind, and Na Qingyan asked Mother He again: "Sister Feng is really crazy?" ”

"Look, it's not crazy or stupid, let's not care about it for now." Mother He said.

He Biqing also said beside her: "At that time, the second master fell into the water to blame her, I don't want to see her." She has a grudge against us, I'm afraid she wants to make trouble. ”

Mother He touched He Biqing's head: "You also look at your brother, don't ask him to provoke the new aunt." As he spoke, he looked at Qing Yan again: "Brother also remembers, don't call my sister sister in the future, let my aunt know?" ”

"Save." Qing Yan responded, and said: "I am much more sensible now, and I will not act recklessly." Mom don't worry about me, I won't provoke my aunt. I still remember how good she is, if she doesn't go crazy, we can still play together. ”

Mother He smiled, and also reached out and touched Qingran's head.

Qingtong stayed in office for a day, and nothing else happened except for the things at hand. Because she was summoned by the emperor, everyone speculated whether she would have a good life like Zhao Yan, and within a few days, the emperor appreciated her and promoted her to the Hanlin Academy. Although the Hanlin Academy is not something that ordinary people can enter, today's Hanlin Academy is just a grassroots stepping stone, and if you want to become an official, you can score points. The officials of the Hanlin Academy, without any real power, deal with books and works all day long. or discuss history with the emperor and the prince, and only look good.

Qingtong herself also thought about this, after last night's incident, let alone a promotion, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see Xu Jing next. Now that I think about it, I feel stupid and ridiculous - how can she teach the emperor a lesson in her identity?

Xu Jing's stepping stone, I'm afraid it's not so easy to use. But that's it, but let yourself settle in peace. All these are words of self-comfort, regardless of whether there is a contradiction or not, just for a moment of peace of mind.

When I got home in the evening, I didn't mention anything about my appointment, but I just relaxed my mind. I had dinner with Qing Yan and taught him some new words.

Qing Yan was always a little absent-minded, so Qing Tong put down his pen and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qing Yan looked at Qing Tong and squeaked, "Sister Feng...... When the new aunt enters the door, won't my father go to see it? ”

Qingtong covered her head, but she forgot about it again. After all, there are too many things to worry about on weekdays, and you can't remember every single one. Now that Qingyan mentioned it, she naturally wanted to go to Gong Qiu, so she got up and said, "I'll go over and take a look at it now, you stay and practice by yourself." ”

"Can I go along?" Qing Yan also got up from his bench.

Qingtong said: "No, you stay and study." ”

Qing Yan pouted slightly, so he had to stay honest.

Qingtong went to the courtyard of Gongqiu, but did not go to see Feng Yu. After passing the word lightly, she entered Gong Qiu's main room, sat on the kang, and said, "Aunt Feng has been settled?" ”

"That's right." Gong Qiu said: "Waiting for the master's next instructions, such a person, I don't dare to call the shots." ”

Qingtong thought for a while: "It's inconvenient for me to see her at the moment, I'm afraid that she will be stimulated when she sees me and cause trouble." It's all up to you, the monthly money, etc., you just look at it. Don't have to wait much, didn't she bring a maid by herself, and handed it over to the maid. Let's not treat her harshly, just raise an idler, so it's fine. ”

Gong Qiu was clear, and he didn't have any other interests in gossiping, so he just said: "The monthly expenses in this family are not small, and the master must have a number in his heart." ”

Qing Tong sighed lightly and said, "I know." ”

There was nothing else to say, so Qing Tong quit Gong Qiu and went back to the front yard. There are more and more people in the family, and she is the only pillar, and it is false to say that there is no pressure. If she can't stand it, the whole family will collapse. No matter what, her first thing is to do a good job in office, strive for more opportunities, and get more money if she is promoted or rewarded.

Huh~ Should Xu Jing be scolded in the end!

In the next few days, at home and outside the home, there was no wave, and everyone was in a state of peace and quiet. Qing Yan was obedient, he didn't provoke Feng Yu, and he was careful to go to Gong Qiu every morning to ask for peace. For fear of running into Feng Yu, she would be stimulated to go crazy again, and she would pounce and tear him up.

Feng Yu is naturally better in the Qing family than in the Zhou family, he doesn't have to look at people's faces, and he doesn't have to be unpopular like a dog. Although no one in the Qing family treats her, in the end, no one doesn't want to see her, just an idler.

In office, since that time, Qingtong was summoned to Zhou Rui's class, and he has not been summoned since. Then the emperor didn't attach much importance to the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, and when he didn't have anything to force it, he didn't summon the people of the Hanlin Academy at all. Besides, what can be the last resort? If the emperor can't figure out something, then the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, can't find anyone to discuss and speak? Moreover, although the emperor attaches great importance to literati, he is not a person who likes to dance and write, and there are even fewer people in the Hanlin Academy who can see the emperor.

Regarding the matter of staying on duty, the newcomers all recognized the reality and no longer had hope. All the fantasies I had before came to naught, and I was too naïve at the time. There are also people who envy, envy and hate Zhao Yan, among all the people, he is the only one who got out, isn't he lucky? It's really more popular than people.

Qingtong is calm, after all, everyone is the same, and no one can get any better. She pondered about the top shift again, and she could make a fortune. At first, no one wanted to, what if there was another one who was summoned to the top shift? Later, after everyone recognized the reality, there were many people who wanted to hide from this laziness, so they got the bachelor in charge of the academy by themselves, and then pulled Qingtong to be this substitute. Qingtong was happy, she had already raised the night's silver to twenty taels.

At this time, the master of the academy was also bent on preparing for the sutra ceremony with the people of the Ministry of Rites, and he didn't care about these things. Besides, it is too normal for him to take some benefits and make things convenient for others.

Today, the master of the academy sat in front of his desk, thinking about which people to choose for the sutra ceremony so as not to lose face in the Hanlin Academy. On the one hand, there must be top-notch children, which proves that the Hanlin Academy is not a bunch of mediocre talents. The rest can be casual and earn some benefits, which is not impossible, so newcomers have a chance.

A few top-notch people are still good to be selected, and this newcomer is purely selling face. Among the newcomers in this batch, the person he needs to sell face is naturally Zhou Qingxiu, the head of the household. That Zhou Rui naturally had to think of a reason to be on the list.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone asking to see it, and it turned out to be Qingtong. He rolled up the rice paper in front of him, covered the name of the person he had written, and cheered up. Waiting for Qing Tong to salute, Fang said, "What's the matter?" ”

Qing Tong has never come to him, because she is the one who is replaced by others. Is it too tired to take a leave of duty? But I heard Qingtong say: "The sutra ceremony is approaching, and the lower officials want to inquire, can you decide on the candidate for our Hanlin Academy?" ”

The master didn't expect her to come to ask this, and he felt even more funny when he heard it, how could she come to ask about this kind of thing, but sneered: "You don't have to know about this matter, just do what you do." ”

Qing Tong ignored his attitude and continued: "I know how many gifts they gave to adults when it came to the matter of taking a leave of absence. If we talk about other things, I am afraid that it is not a small amount. ”

This was said at a low level, and the master of the academy was very angry, frowning: "Get out!" ”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll sue you?" Qingtong didn't move, and laughed.

The Master was really angry, and raised his head to stare at her. Seeing her smile lightly, she suddenly remembered something, suppressed her arrogance and said, "What the hell is the matter with you?" ”

"It's very simple, I am one of the people who will attend the ceremony this time. If you are unsure, you can seek the meaning of Lord Zhou Qingxiu, the head of the household. I don't know if the adults are more powerful than the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu Feng family......"

The master of the academy looked at the respectful and polite appearance of the green pupils, and the qi in his chest went straight up. I don't know if this Qingtong suddenly took the wrong medicine to play such a play for him. But these words reminded him of the previous incident, Luan Weisi, the fall of the Feng family, all said that Qingtong was the emperor's person, and Zhou Qingxiu also gave her three points in private. Although there is nothing to show on weekdays, at this critical moment, I really have to go to my heart.

In case of......

"That's it, the list is still being drafted, and we will notify them one by one when it is finalized." The Master of the Academy suppressed irritability.

Qing Tong was satisfied, thanked him and withdrew.

Outside the door, Qing Tong breathed a sigh of relief. She had been thinking about this for several days, and she had discussed it with Zhao Yan when she met him in the morning. She can only make a little money on top duty, she has to seize the opportunity to show her face, she can't just stay like this, otherwise she will be really moldy. You have to help yourself with everything.

She thought about threatening the master for a long time, but she had never done such a thing, and she was not sure in her heart. When I asked Zhao Yan, I was also vague. Zhao Yan was happy and said directly: "This plan is feasible, but it's just ...... If you want to participate in the prayer ceremony, isn't that just a matter of his words? ”

Qing Tong shrugged, "Since that night, have you heard that someone from the Hanlin Academy was summoned while they were on duty?" ”

Zhao Yan smiled: "Quarreled? ”

"Quarrel? It's still a cold war......" Qing Tong smiled, just joking: "I didn't plan to do anything with him, but I didn't want to make the relationship stiff, I couldn't do that, I was still a friend of the monarch and ministers, no, but I said it seriously that night." ”

"What did you say?" Zhao Yan was curious.

Qing Tong cleared his throat, leaned in front of Zhao Yan, and lowered his voice: "I pointed to his nose and said: Are you sick?" Are you crazy? You're ridiculous! ”

Zhao Yan was stunned, then coughed slowly, almost choking to death by his own saliva. Even if that person is not the emperor or an ordinary man, I am afraid that no one can stand such a self-respecting accusation. Besides, how can a woman dare to do this to a man? What's more, this person is the Ninety-Five, the world is his, everyone is with the king like a tiger, he is afraid of being crooked, and he is afraid of shooting the wrong emperor!

Zhao Yan waved his hand: "I can't save you, you can do it yourself." ”

"Really?" Qingtong was a little deflated: "I also think it's too undeserved." ”

Zhao Yan coughed lightly a few times: "Then you apologize to him." ”

"What apologies?" Qingtong looked at Zhao Yan: "I'm not wrong!" ”

"For the future, okay?"

Qingtong's eyes were fixed on Zhao Yan's face and did not move, thinking and thinking. After a while, she cleared her throat, straightened her waist, and twisted: "Can I talk to you about the restrictive level?" ”

"Poof......" Zhao Yan raised his hand to block his mouth: "Let's hear it." ”

Qing Tong squirmed for a while, but he didn't expect that the person who could speak considerably at this time was actually a man. It's just that, they're all adults anyway, and you can get an in-depth understanding of what men think from him. She is not a feudal woman bound by dogma, what can't be said.

After clearing his throat again, Qingtong said, "Let's be honest, I have him in my heart, I admit it." But my ambition is not to be a canary and be raised by him in the harem. Playing adultery and tease with a group of women, just for the sake of him as a man......"

"Hmm." Zhao Yan nodded: "Go on." ”

Qingtong took a sip of water: "He said that he waited for me for five years and wanted to be with me for the rest of his life, whether I was a concubine or a courtier." But is it okay for the monarch and the minister? Why can't they be in peace, and each one has his own place? Was I thinking too simply, or was he too selfish? ”

"You guys ......" Zhao Yan cleared his throat: "Did you have a relationship after you came back?" ”

"Nope." Qing Tong hurriedly shook his head.

Zhao Yan thought for a while: "He really feels sorry for you and holds you in the palm of his hand." In his capacity, what if he wants you? What about being forcibly brought into the harem? The world is not the king's land, what is there he can't want? You think it's selfish, but I think it's sincere. ”

Qingtong shrank her body, her waist was not so straight, she looked at Zhao Yan, and said for a while: "What should I do?" ”

"He wants to fulfill what you want, and he wants you, and there's nothing wrong with that. Do you think he can give you a convenient line, but suppress your emotions and don't want anything? Why? ”

"You're afraid you're in danger and don't want to take on the stress responsibilities associated with it. But you don't think that he is covering you up as a man, and maybe even hiding other things, secretly making things convenient for you, and he has put himself in trouble and danger. If the matter is revealed, it will have an impact on the throne, and even the world, and the people of Li will live. He carries all of this and protects you as best he can. And you, trying your best to get rid of the relationship and only care about your own future, you ...... Is there really him in my heart? ”
