"Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost." Yan Yi stood on the boat and looked at the man with a withered face on the shore, he remembered these two sentences for some reason, he still remembered that seven years ago, when Li Zhun went to the book, his posture was tall and extraordinary, Zhang Weiwen wrote to exchange the position of Miao Jin's county lord for Li Zhun's life, but he was still exiled to Lingnan by the emperor for seven years, and now the seven-year sentence has expired.

"Brother Li, it's Ziyi who can't stand you." Yan Yi bowed deeply on the boat, and the man just nodded slightly, and then left directly.

"I think that His Majesty did the right thing, Ziyi, you are not suitable to be an official." Yan Lu didn't know when he appeared beside Yan Yi, Yan Yi sighed, and said, "Master also once said that I am not suitable to be an official. ”

"But the two apprentices you taught are indeed unexpectedly suitable for being officials." Yan Lu said softly, Yan Yi turned around and looked at the slightly calm river, Shao Xuan is indeed a good material for being an official, but this kid's mind is too deep, it is really unpredictable,"

"If I were to say it, I would think that the child Yuliang is more powerful, born in the end of the year, but he is always pampered and not surprised, and he always seems to have reservations."

"Shao Xuan is worried about his mother, but he has fallen behind Yuliang, but this year's big competition, I'm afraid that incompetence is his opponent."

Yan Yi seemed to remember something, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, these two apprentices are not mine, but the old man Wen's, in a few days, Jinyu will return, I have to test his chess skills." ”

Yan Lu shook his fan and sighed slightly, "That child is thoughtful, and after encountering such things, I am afraid that he is no longer the innocent little girl he was back then. ”

"Zilu, you really think it was an accident."

"I know. What's the use of just knowing, this situation in the DPRK and China is not something you and I can control, Master said that you are not suitable to be an official, how can I be suitable, anything will deteriorate if you are stained with power. ”

The river breeze gusted, blowing the clothes of the people in the boat to fly, and the crowd on the river bank came and went to live and work in peace and contentment.

"Sir, Prince Yuliang asks to see you." The old butler came to the two of them and said.

"Let him come up." The old housekeeper took the order and brought a handsome, elegant and extraordinary son up, only to see that the boy was twenty years old, with a piece of jade tied around his waist, and he looked like a gentleman and a beautiful jade

"Master Yan." The boy saluted, Yan Lu and Yan Yi returned the salute with a smile, and Yan Lu said, "Don't be polite." ”

"Hanlin Province is close to Mu Xiu, and the disciple has come to see the two masters."

"Where is Shao Xuan at this time?" Yan Yi asked, and Zhang Yuliang said respectfully, "Lord Zhang has returned to Jinling from the northwest, and he should be in the old mansion of the Zhang family at this time."

"Oh? It's been back, I said goodbye back then, but it's been seven years, I don't know what happened to my apprentice now, you go, come to see me on behalf of that girl, I'll take the test to see how much her chess skills have grown. ”

"Jinyu is already on her way." Zhang Yuliang said, Yan Yi was slightly stunned, and then said, "In this way, don't bother Yuliang." ”

Jinling has been separated for seven years, this place is still prosperous and not like people's homes, the Qinhuai River is still Yingge Yan Dance, but there are only a few old servants left in the huge mansion of the Zhang family, so Jinyu came back this time, but also avoided those cumbersome etiquette, after she and Zhang Weiwen settled the tomb of their mother, they thought about catching up with the ancients, and Jinyu's old man naturally only had that master.

Jinyu sat in a luxurious and comfortable carriage, and suddenly missed the days in the northwest, where women could ride horses on the street, not here, and they had to take the curtain with them on the street.

"Miss, when you arrive, the green finch outside said, Miao Jin got out of the carriage, saw the familiar painting boat, the old butler who was with him put down the ladder, and Jinyu raised her feet and got on the boat.

As soon as he entered the cabin, he saw Yan Yi's face that seemed to be smiling.

"Jinyu, I haven't seen you for seven years, you've grown up." Yan Yi said with some emotion, Jinyu smiled and said, "Master, you are also old." Yan Yi touched his beard and laughed at himself, "It's really old." ”

"I've done the thing you asked me to do before, and I've sent someone to the capital for the person you're looking for."

"Thank you, Master."

"Indeed, you have grown up." Yan Yi said as if sighing again, Miao Jin didn't smile, but looked at the river outside the window, "People will always grow up." ”

Yan Lu, who had never spoken, said, "How have Jinyu been doing all these years? Miao Jin looked at Yan Lu's warm and jade-like face, and sighed that this person was still like this.

"I've had a very good life." Jinyu looked at Zhang Yuliang, who was silent on the side, and said, "Brother Yuliang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Zhang Yuliang nodded slightly, Yan Lu's heart moved, it seems that Yuliang, this kid, came to see Jinyu, and this kid is really hidden.

"I don't know where Ling Zun is at this time?" Yan Lu asked, and Jinyu said, "Your Majesty urgently summons my father Guijing, and I will go to Beijing first at will, so I will stay here first and meet my master."

"Tautology is hard work." Yan Lu said, at this time, Yan Yi suddenly interjected and asked, "I heard that your father made a cement thing in the northwest, and nonsense is harder than stone?" ”

"Yes, it's indeed cement, I'm afraid that His Majesty's call to return to Beijing this time is also about the Yanjiang River embankment."

"I heard that cement becomes harder when it encounters water, which is a good thing for the country and the people." Yan Yi said.

"That's true."

"I haven't seen you for so many years, I don't know how Jinyu's chess skills are, so how about you and I play a game between master and apprentice?" Yan Yi said, Miao Jin nodded, and Yan Yi instructed the housekeeper on the side to take out the chessboard.

It's still Jinyu's sunspot, but the chess path of not seeing this girl for seven years is becoming more and more unusual, compared with the crooked and weird chess path seven years ago, Miao Jin's chess path after seven years is more and more stable, even an old Confucian who is full of knowledge and benevolence can't find her fault.

"It seems that you have really changed a lot, Yan Yi suddenly felt that this game of chess was boring, so he stopped playing.

Jinyu was silent.

In this way, I said goodbye, Miao Jin led the green sparrow out of the cabin, Zhang Yuliang on the side followed the two out, Miao Jin got off the boat, saw Zhang Yuliang, and smiled slightly, "Brother Yuliang, now he is also a gentleman, congratulations." ”

Zhang Yuliang saw that Jinyu didn't speak, and just as Miao Jin was about to say something, Zhang Yuliang suddenly said, "I will help you." ”

"Miss, Young Master Yuliang is gone." Qingque looked at Jinyu who was stunned in place, and said with some concern.

"I know, let's go."

Jinyu got into the carriage, closed her eyes, and thought of the boy reading in the rain
