After returning to Beijing for a few days, Zhao Shu closed her door, and many ladies in Beijing gave her posts and invited her to go out to play together, but she refused one by one.

Shut yourself in the room, spread out the white paper, dip the brush in ink, and write slowly.

Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Guozi were grinding ink, and the other was standing with the dust in their arms, watching her write down a personal name, first writing Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue is still alive, living in the Guanzhou Yamen, and if she is not an enemy of the sky, even if she has a hundred Linlang orders, she can't be saved.

The reason why I kept her for so many years was that I really didn't want her to die so soon, and to torture a person was to make her lose a qiē, and then she couldn't survive and die.

Naturally, now Jiang Yue is no longer in her eyes, but she chose to end her at this time, and she made careful calculations.

She's going to declare war!

Jiang Yue is just a small person, but she likes to watch her opponent and get rid of her one by one, and then the other party can't bear her.

After writing down Jiang Yue's name, she put down the sheep jade tube and said to Xiao Zhuzi: "Go and ask Liu Ren'an to come and see me." ”

"County Lord, Liu Changshi is already waiting outside." Xiao Zhu Zi said, and the hand behind his back beckoned to Liu Ren'an, who was waiting outside the door.

"County Lord." Liu Ren'an came in and saluted.

Zhao Shu's eyes were on the name on the paper, and she didn't look up, "Well, can the case be clarified?" ”

After hearing this, Liu Ren'an immediately took out a book of folds from his arms and handed it over, Xiao Zhuzi took it and handed it to Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu asked her to put it on the case, and then raised her head and said to Liu Ren'an: "Both cases have been investigated?"

Liu Ren'an nodded, "Yes, it's all clear." "Anyway, he has also studied for a few years, and he is a Beijing official, and no one pays attention to him, so he can't find out the two trivial things, and it's too much to say.

Zhao Shu opened the fold and looked at it slowly, and after reading it, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she wrote the three words Jiang Jingzhan on the paper, and said to Liu Ren'an after writing: "Liu Changshi." It's been five years, how can you still have a long history? ”

Liu Ren'an blushed and lowered his head, not knowing how to answer. He also wanted to be promoted, and he also wanted to have a smooth career, but the destiny was not up to him, and he had no way to do it, so he finally got a ride on the Yongwang Mansion. is still a weak force, and it will take five years to go out of Beijing.

"Liu Changshi doesn't want to move the ground?" Zhao Shu motioned for Xiao Zhuzi to bring him a chair over.

Liu Ren'an listened to Zhao Shu's words, and knelt down with a puff, "County Lord, Weichen is willing to smear the county lord's liver and brain!" ”

"Get up, now you have no political achievements, no qualifications, always do chores, and have never been the master, so how can you do it? I'll let you get out of the capital. Where do you think is the best place to go at this time? "The partisan struggle in the capital is too strict, and those who have the vision to see that they don't engage in party struggle have all found a way out of Beijing.

Liu Ren'an's heart is about to jump out, oh my God, he can really go out of Beijing to practice! Fortunately, he didn't give up, and finally waited for this day, although he was also a Beijing official, but the long history was also miscellaneous, and he never made his own decisions, if he could go to the place. Even if it's a seven-grade county order, it's good, he thought about it, where to go?

The county lord is testing his overall situation, if Jiangnan. It's not good, Jiangnan has been recovered, go to the northeast? It's not good, it's not the most difficult bone to gnaw, between the lightning and flint, he presents a map of the distribution of the forces of the great Yong in his mind. In the end, he gritted his teeth and chose the most difficult one, "County Lord, Weichen wants to go to Xiliang." ”

Zhao Shu raised a bright smile and personally helped Liu Ren'an up, "Okay, Lord Liu, the lord of this county first congratulates the adults on moving to the left, Xiao Zhuzi, bring the wine, I will give the adults a glass." ”

Xiao Zhuzi took a jade cup of sake and poured it full, Zhao Shu smiled sassyly, and clinked glasses with Liu Ren'an, "Lord Liu, move left for you, and I will salute you for the day when the adult returns to Beijing." ”

Liu Ren'an was shocked by this voice of Lord Liu, as if he had been ordered to travel to Xiliang.

After drinking the wine in the cup, Liu Ren'an bowed deeply, "Wechen thank the county lord for his support, what does the county lord command, please just say, Wechen will definitely go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire and bow to death." ”

Zhao Shu shook her head with a smile, "No, Lord Liu, I don't need you to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I just need you to do it!" Correct! Honest! Bright! Make more friends with Qingliu officials and keep the style that court officials should have. ”

Liu Ren'an's face flushed, but he was relieved in his heart, and his conscience was also at peace, if he was not desperate, he would not have thought about taking the boat of Yongwangfu.

Zhao Shu didn't care about the purpose of his previous vote, as long as he arrived in Xiliang, he could be a good official who was honest and honest, which would be the biggest help, not to mention, she still had arrangements.

"Yes, Weichen will remember the words of the county lord." Liu Ren'an, since he joined the office, all he has thought about is how to be promoted and how to fight for more interests for the family, but at this moment, he wants to be a good official for the first time.

"I believe in my lordship, my lord should go back to the house first, make good preparations, and there will be news in three or five days, and then the lord will not have to come to the palace to resign, although he can go to office, I will let someone inform you if I have something, and I will take care of your family."

Liu Ren'an saluted again gratefully, Zhao Shu waved him back, and after the person left, she looked at the name on the paper and said to Xiao Zhuzi: "Go and call Xin Wei to come over." ”

"Yes." Little Zhuzi goes down,

After a while, Xin Wei followed Xiao Zhuzi to her, she has been following Bi Qiao's side, and she will not show up many times, so now many people don't remember that she was the second-class maid next to Zhao Shu.

"The slave and maid ask the county lord for peace, and the county lord Jin An." She knelt down, although her voice was soft, but she was not cowardly, she had been following Bi Qiao for a long time, and she had also learned a little momentum.

"Arise, I want to avenge you, but the man is the father of your son, are you willing? Would your son be willing? ”

Xin Weimeng raised his head, tears streaming down his cheeks, "Thank you, County Lord!" "Say bang bang kowtow, over the years, Zhuang Erdan has been very good to her, no, it is very good, others are envious, saying that you have a father-in-law who loves you, and a lovely son, but only she knows how bitter her heart is, two years ago she wanted to reconcile, Zhuang Erdan disagreed, and then she mentioned it several times in succession, Zhuang Erdan still disagreed.

Others say that when she has a son, she should hurry up to give birth to a daughter and make up for one, but over the years, she has never slept with Zhuang Erdan, not because Zhuang Ertan is bad, but because she is dirty.

All these years, all she thought about was that person to die, a hundred times!

"You've got to think about it." Zhao Shu asked her again.

Xin Wei kowtowed with tears, "The slave and maid have thought about it, please ask the county lord to be the master of the slave and maid, as for Xiaobao." The slave didn't want him to know that he had such a biological father, and asked the county lord not to blame. ”

Zhao Shu nodded, fulfilling her beloved son's heart, "Okay." Then go down, and then come and put an end to the beast with your own hands. ”

She couldn't stop her tears, kowtowed again, and then got up and walked out. Zhao Shu looked at her emaciated back, her face was unbearable, and said: "Don't let down the man who is willing to pay for you, there are not many such people, and you should cherish it when you meet it." ”

After speaking, he picked up the pen and wrote, Xin Wei heard her words, broke down and cried, and forced himself not to cry, but tears wet his eyes. No matter how you look at it, you can't see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Zhao Shu said, picked up the pen and wrote the third word on the paper, Ji Dongxue.

Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Guozi glanced at each other, the county lord actually wanted to deal with Ji Dongxue, the secretary of the ministry?

However, Zhao Shu didn't say it, and they couldn't guess the mystery no matter how they guessed.

Writing down the third name, she stopped writing it, threw the fold, and just stamped it on the three names, "Uncle Huang's birthday." Come with me and prepare a congratulatory gift, Father? ”

"Back to the county lord, the gentleman is here, and he is playing chess with the prince." Xiao Guo Zidao.

The feet don't stop. Zhao Shu didn't wait long to come to the water pavilion of the new Shensong Courtyard, the water pavilion is babbling under the water pavilion, and the waterfront is the two rows of smiles that have just bloomed, and there are a few poppies in the gap, dotted with stars, but also chic. Closer to the stream is the folding willow, which moves with the wind, full of spring.

King Yong and Luo Hu were playing silently, and Fu Bo and Bi Qiao were standing on the side, and when they saw Zhao Shulai, they saluted slightly and did not speak.

Zhao Shu walked in, Luo Hu raised his eyes and glanced at her, and then played, a game is nearing the end, chess is shorter than Go, now is the time to be popular, naturally, chess is still the best in Yashi's heart.

At the end of the game, it ended with King Yong losing, although he lost, he was not discouraged, he was not angry, he was more happy, winning or losing was actually not important in his heart, "When did Ah Jun come over?" He was so focused that he only saw Zhao Shu now.

Zhao Shu leaned over and said goodbye, "Father, teacher, it will be the emperor's birthday in a few days, and I will come to discuss the birthday gift with you." ”

"Send some gold and silver utensils, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, your imperial uncle is not lacking, he is happy with whatever you send." King Yong thinks simply, his own brother, what do you pay attention to so much?

However, Luo Hu didn't think that he needed to discuss with them to send these, and this disciple was afraid that there would be something wrong with him, so he asked, "What do you want to send?" ”

"Ah Jun wants to return the fief." She told the truth, now she still had three counties left, and if she wanted to retreat before the kings rebelled, they were all really light.

Luo Hu nodded, extremely satisfied with his disciple's courage, "You can't send it out as a congratulatory gift, the emperor can't help the family, but he can help you, so you have to think of a way to let the emperor praise you." ”

Thinking of going together with Zhao Shu, it is naturally unreasonable to send it directly as a congratulatory gift, and it is easy to be attacked as a target, so you can only send a unique birthday gift on your birthday, so that Emperor Mingde will be happy, and then take the opportunity to act.

Yongwang listened to the words of the master and apprentice, and silently went to collect the white jade chess on the table, these are all money, it is not easy to make money at all, you have to save.

"It's really hard to think about clever things." Luo Hu began to analyze Emperor Mingde's temperament, but after thinking about it, Emperor Mingde's temperament was actually changeable, and no one knew if he could laugh.

Zhao Shu thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "I know what to send." ”

She said loudly, and King Yong's Luo Hu leaned back, and Luo Hu asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zhao Shu shook her head and smiled mysteriously, "On the emperor's birthday, the teacher knew. ”

After returning to Qionghua Courtyard, he immediately locked himself in a small study, wrote and painted, and asked Xiao Guozi to pull a goose feather to paint.

Until nightfall, Xing'er came to ask: "County Lord, do you have a meal with the prince and Mr., or in Qionghua Courtyard?" ”

She didn't raise her head and said, "Come to Qionghua Courtyard." ”

After speaking, he continued to change his painting, and threw half of the paper basket into the paper basket.

Xing'er came to urge again, she stopped, went out to eat, drank the soup, still thinking about the birthday gift, halfway through a bowl of soup, and said, "Invite Dr. Peng to come early tomorrow morning." ”

After eating, she began to go back to the study to write and paint, until late at night, Chu Chun and the others couldn't stand it anymore, urged and urged, she reluctantly left the study, washed and rested.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, she got up early and went to the study again, but fortunately, Chuchun and the others also got up very early to wash and dress as quickly as possible.

When Mrs. Peng arrived, Zhao Shu was eating Xiaojing buns and writing and drawing.

"County Lord, what is the matter with the old man?"

Zhao Shu raised her head and beckoned to Mrs. Peng, "Do you have a birthday gift for the emperor?" ”

Mrs. Peng was a doctor, this kind of thing his wife was prepared for, where was his turn to ask, Zhao Shu looked at him with a confused face, and then he knew that he didn't care about everything, and he didn't care, and said: "Look at this, Peng Lao will be the master this time, and send something different to the emperor's uncle." ”

The old lady took the paper she handed over, in addition to the design drawings, there were some introductions, he was fascinated, and bowed deeply to Zhao Shu after reading it, "Thank you for the righteousness of the county lord, it's just that the old man has been favored by the county lord again, how can this favor be repaid?" ”

Zhao Shu smiled, "What are you talking about, I'm just talking about it, aren't all the results researched by yourself?" It stands to reason that it is me who should say thank you, and you should not be polite to me, otherwise I will not dare to tell you what I think in the future. ”

Mrs. Peng hurriedly waved her hand, "Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it, it's just that the days are still short, and the old man is afraid that he won't be able to study it for a while, and I'm afraid that he will disappoint the county lord." ”

Zhao Shu knows that the research and development of a thing, sometimes it will be successful in a few minutes, but sometimes it will not be possible for a few years or even several generations to succeed, "It's okay, why don't you ask the emperor and let the emperor open a research workshop for you, how about it?" ”

Mrs. Peng thought about it, it is feasible, there is only one table in the hospital, and there are many people at home, so it is better to be clean and comfortable in Guanzhou, if there is a separate research workshop, it will be perfect.

Zhao Shu saw him nodding and smiling as a thief.

Soon, Emperor Mingde's birthday arrived, Zhao Shu got up early, washed up, and entered the palace with King Yong, first to the Queen Mother, came to Cining Palace, everyone also arrived, and after accompanying the Queen Mother to eat, they moved to Changle Palace.

In order to show his love for King Yong's younger brother, Emperor Mingde did not bring any concubines to Changle Palace, but took King Yong and hugged the Queen Mother to Changle Palace together.

The courtiers, foreign envoys and concubines who came to congratulate him on his birthday also waited in Changle Palace early, and when Liang Yunsi shouted: "The emperor has arrived, and the queen mother has arrived." ”

Everyone knelt. (To be continued.) )
