Bathing and changing, Lin Xu stroked the qin.

Hongchen was so excited when he heard this, he couldn't help but make a cup of fragrant tea, and sat far away, not wanting to disturb him for half a minute.

Lu Fenghe lay down on a tree next to him, listened with his ears sideways, and refused to eat even his favorite glutinous rice and red date cake prepared in the kitchen.

The sound of the piano is indescribably melodious, and it is indescribably wild.

It seems that all the love and hate have been vented, and the whole person is empty.

Hongchen used to listen to him play the piano often, but every time he got the enjoyment, it was different, sometimes flying into the sky, sometimes falling to the ground.

Up and down in the county lord's mansion, even the sweepers unconsciously lightened their steps.

Next door to the county lord's mansion.

A group of students who were about to participate in the imperial examination were talking about poetry and papers in the courtyard, when suddenly the sound of the piano came, and everyone was in a trance when they heard it.

"Huh? Next door is ...... The mansion of the lord of Rong'an, right? ”

A scholar exhaled softly, took advantage of the interval in the sound of the piano, and sighed, "I didn't expect the county lord to be so good at the piano, I think I am in Jiangnan, and I have also won the title of a double masterpiece of piano and painting. ”

"But I haven't heard it for a while."

This is the neighbor of the county lord and the son of the clan, his father is the same generation as the emperor according to his generation, he is higher than Hongchen's generation, but although he is a neighbor, he rarely interacts with him, no way, who let him never marry a wife, his parents died early, and he is a man in the huge mansion, and he is not good at will to socialize with Hongchen.

You can often take advantage of the geographical advantage to eavesdrop on the Lord of Rong'an County playing the piano.

This one doesn't know, the vast majority of what he heard is Lin Xu playing the piano, if he knows, I'm afraid he will be even more honored.

There are a few people in the world who can enjoy the sound of the piano of the ghost valley masters.

Hongchen's other skill points are good, as for playing the piano, at most it is not out of tune, but there is no way to compare with the eldest son of Lin.

Early the next morning, Lin Xu summoned Xue Baiqiao and asked him to come over to meet him honestly.

Recently, Xue Baiqiao is very difficult to find, Hongchen has looked for him a few times, he either has official affairs or private affairs, and always says that he is not available.

This is not an idler now, he is quite valued in the Long Live Lord, many times, the Long Live Lord does not see the foreign official, but he is willing to see him, which makes many people want to be close to him, it is best to dig up any news, Hongchen sees this, and he will not look for him more, so as to save people from having some bad associations, even he is troublesome.

Lin Xu came back this time, and said that it was for him, not ten percent of the truth, at least three percent, as soon as he opened his mouth to summon, this kid had to come if he wanted to, and he had to come if he didn't want to come.

Xue Baiqiao looked a little haggard, his face was a little sad, and he was very happy to see Lin Xu in good spirits.

He hasn't heard from Lin Xu for a long time, and he said that he doesn't have to worry, it's a monster, everyone else has an accident, and it won't be his turn to be unlucky, but no matter how easy it is, the situation is like this, and he can't help but worry.

As a result, before Xue Xiaohou could express his excitement, he was pressed by Lin Xu to sit on the chair - "Let's talk about it, why do you want to delay the marriage?" Ning Hou didn't have the energy to toss you recently, and when I looked back and found your small movements, I think you can take a few family strokes. ”

Xue Baiqiao's face sank, and he sighed: "...... You should know, the border army has been unstable recently, especially in the few places where we and Beiyan meet, Huancheng is almost changing hands, how old is my grandfather General Xue, he is seventy-eight years old, and he has to come out to support it, His Majesty is worried about this, it seems that he intends to let me go to Huancheng for a trip, for the monarch to worry, of course, this child has a long relationship, naturally to let it go. ”

Lin Xu squinted at him and chuckled: "You have been very good at lying since you were a child, and when you lie, others usually can't see it, but you have never deceived me, this time the reason is okay, it is estimated that Ning Hou can also take a few less meals when he hears you say this, but your future wife is Miss Yun, it is very ridiculous." ”

"The Yun family has been a general for generations, the family has long been accustomed to their husbands, sons have been killing enemies on the battlefield for many years, and other people's men have died on the battlefield, that is a disaster from the sky, which will make women feel painful, but they have long been accustomed to it, the Yun family has been proud of dying on the battlefield for several generations, and those who stay are only proud, your Miss Yun, is even more of a woman who does not let her eyebrows, and will kill the enemy on the battlefield in the future, you are likely to be sent by the Lord of Long Live Lord, and her Yun family army is probably bound to go."

Lin Xu said slowly, Xue Baiqiao's face showed a little embarrassment, pursed his lips and lowered his head and refused to say more.

This kid is stubborn, even if it's Lin Xu, he can't take him for a while.

Hongchen sat on the side with great interest, smiling at the fresh apples, not much worried about this, and comforted Lin Gongzi with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, no matter what they do, let them go, I think it's fun to make a fuss, anyway, I've counted these two many times, it's a match made in heaven, and it should go well." ”

Xue Baiqiao raised his head slightly, his face showed a faint hint of joy, diluting his sorrow, Hongchen looked amused, and coughed: "If these two really can't even make such a match made in heaven, then we ordinary people can't remedy it if we think about it, so we have to accept our fate." ”

In an instant, Xue Baiqiao lowered his head again.

Hongchen saw that his hands were itchy, and he especially wanted to reach out and purr a few times, feeling that this kid was like a big dog with his head down, very cute.

Lin Xu obviously didn't have so much time to accompany Xue Baiqiao, so after a few words, he let the person go, Hongchen sent him out by himself, turned around, and accompanied Lin Gongzi to eat and drink tea.

After eating, the two of them went back to the study together, the study is separated, there is a sliding door, both of them have private space, do not disturb each other, quiet.

Hongchen used to read and practice calligraphy in the study, and it was the same, quiet, but today he feels very comfortable, very peaceful, and when he is alone, he can't help but feel a little lonely.

After reading the book for a while, Hongchen asked people to bring the map.

A thick stack is placed on the table, this thing is a secret, and ordinary people can't get it, but if the people in Guigu don't even have a detailed map, it is estimated that it will not be enviable and fearful.

Flipping through the map, she took the latest battle report or something, and looked at it, the information in it was fragmentary, and there were a lot of them, and even Hongchen had a headache when she saw it, she was not familiar with these, and she didn't know much about them.

Fortunately, there are a bunch of capable people in the Yujue space, and there are also many military strongmen, and she is not afraid of leaking secrets or anything in this, a bunch of people help analyze and analyze, and those people are also interested in playing.

"Overall, your big week doesn't seem good."

"It's okay now, you look at this information, the dispute between the prince of Dayong has changed, the crown prince has fallen, and the three princes with the weakest power have won the favor of the emperor, these three princes can have a deep hatred with Beiyan, as soon as he gains power, even if he considers it comprehensively, he will not rashly start with Beiyan, Beiyan's side must also consider the threat of Dayong, and the offensive against Da Zhou will be reduced."

Hongchen also saw it, raised his head and glanced at Lin Xu from the crack in the door.

The accident in the middle of Dayong happened very delicately, but she remembered that the things that Lin Xu occasionally sent a while ago were mixed with a lot of specialties from Dayong's side, and this guy must have gone to stir up the wind and rain.

In fact, with Lin Xu's ability to make trouble, he can really make all the things that can be used in the court of the Great Zhou, and he will definitely be able to set off a lot of storms, but in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he prefers to be like some rat throwers, and he refuses to make too many moves.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Xu chuckled, pushed open a small window, just in time to see Hongchen's side face, stood up and leaned over, glanced at the things spread out on her table, and said with a smile, "Our county lord also wants to be a female general?" ”

"I'm not very happy."

Hongchen sighed softly, "I think, most of those legendary female generals, if possible, also hope to stay happily in the boudoir, even if it is boring to be a female celebrity, even if you may not be able to enjoy the freedom you enjoy now for a lifetime, but at least there is no gunsmoke, no war, no killing and death." ”

Lin Xu's expression suddenly became heavy.

“…… yes, at least there were no killings and deaths. ”

After a moment of silence, Lin Xu handed over another piece of information from the window, Hongchen glanced at it, and turned over his information and compared it.

It's about the Xia family sent a batch of weapons to Huancheng, the number of weapons is wrong, and the quality is also very poor, the Xia family got the news and has sent someone to remedy it, they have a good relationship with the border army, how many years of friendship, there is no big trouble for the time being, and the court has also suppressed the news.

"It's a bad omen, and I'm afraid something will happen."

The Xia family has been making weapons for so many years, and the requirements for weapons at home are so strict that outsiders will never think of it, and now the Xia family of the younger generation has very good craftsmanship.

Lin Xu's expression was a little solemn, and he sighed, "Recently, I'd better let people stare at the Xia family a little." ”

The imperial court still didn't pay enough attention to the Xia family.

The Xia family has a long heritage, don't look at the family is not the top, but it is absolutely indispensable, but because it is not a top family, and because of the ancestral training, it cannot be involved in the court disputes, naturally low-key, not too eye-catching, especially at a time like now, the family acts more low-key, the children of the family in the capital, have always been easy to refuse to show their heads, those top-notch, outstanding, also sent to travel around the world.

Chen Wan, the princess, also has no sense of existence, she has not been in public for many years, such a family, even if something happens, there will not be too many people in the court, it is inevitable to lag behind, but this family is very important, once it is chaotic, it will have a great impact.

The affairs of the Xia family are kept in mind, and more attention is paid to it, and there is nothing else to do.

The two of them sorted out the information for a while, Lin Xu still had something to go out, and this guy returned to the capital, obviously not just for Xue Baiqiao.

Hongchen took the amulet that Luo Niang prepared for the temple and went back to the Lu family, she told the Lu family that she had made an appointment with a few young ladies in Beijing to worship the Buddha together, and now when she went back, she naturally wanted to bring something to Qiao's and Sister Yao.

The Guigu disciples returned to Beijing, but the capital was still the same, there was no sudden emergence of a big case, and no one suddenly broke into the palace gate to shout grievances, and there were still some happy events, saying that the emperor's health was great.

It is said that the king of Qi is pure filial piety, the imperial physician dispenses medicine for His Majesty, in addition to the introduction of the withered Rong grass that has been obtained, several precious medicinal materials are also needed, after the king of Qi learned, he stayed awake all night, traveled around, and finally found the best medicinal materials, and also got back an ancient medical book, which is said to be obtained by a tomb robber in the previous dynasty, and the formula obtained by the imperial doctors can confirm each other.

His majesty was overjoyed, praised him for his filial piety, and gave him a garden.

King Qi was not proud of his achievements, and repeatedly said that his brothers had done their best, and the credit was not his alone.

The emperor was even more happy, and also saw King An, relieved him a few words, although he had not yet let him enter the court, finally had the meaning of breaking the ice, King An had a sad life in Beijing recently, and there were accidents in the house one after another, and it was already silent, and countless people fell into the ground.

Hongchen also got the latest news.

Shengmen has been working hard in the palace recently, as if he feels that his tentacles can't extend into the palace, very unwilling, but unfortunately the news he got is also a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, Hongchen is only used as a pastime to see, and occasionally encourage them a few words, it's good to have this heart, anyway, the boys in Shengmen are clever and won't mess around, even if they can't pry the door, they won't let people grab the handle.

Besides, it's not a bad thing to really suffer a little loss, and it can suppress their arrogance.

Palace

Diligent Palace

The emperor frowned, rubbed his temples, and coughed lightly, and the little eunuch who was waiting next to him hurriedly came over with a spittoon, making Long Live Ye spit out thick phlegm.

The old eunuch brought a glass of lukewarm and warm water, and the emperor rinsed his mouth, then leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes to recuperate, and said after a long time: "How many doses of that medicine have I taken?" ”

"Long live, on the third day of today, I have already taken five doses, and I should use another dose in the evening."

The emperor pondered for a moment and nodded: "Let them bring it." ”

"Yes."

The old eunuch withdrew lightly, and as soon as he went out, he was blown by the wind, and his back was cold, but he did not show any trace on his face, smiled kindly, and ordered the little eunuch to do things, and went to the side hall in person.

The two little eunuchs in the side hall were playing with dice, and when they saw the old eunuch, they hurriedly collected it.

"I'm not busy, I'm not busy, you guys play, hey, I can't do it anymore, I changed ten years ago, you little cubs can't play with me."

A few words made the little eunuchs feel calm, and the old eunuch asked a few more words about food and daily life, as if they came to see it at random, turned around and left, and told them to eat and drink well and take care of them well before leaving, and the two little eunuchs were grateful.

went out, and without waiting for the old eunuch to ask, a big eunuch with a cold face at the door whispered about the two recent situations in the house: "...... The two of them drank the medicine on time, and the little ones personally stared at what they drank, boiling at the same time as His Majesty's medicine, and at the same time coming out of the pot...... There is no abnormality in the body. ”

"Hmm."

The old eunuch nodded, but there was still a wave of uneasiness in his heart. (To be continued.) )
