1258, defeated
- Walking out of the shady pine shade and into the increasingly dazzling sun, Lin Shan looked at the slender woman who was also walking slowly on the other side, and said with a slight smile: "You are here, why do you keep standing so far away without prompting?"
Chen Jiu said softly: "Actually, I have just arrived, so I am afraid of disturbing you." I know that Mr. Wu likes to be quiet when he plays chess, and I am afraid that he will be annoyed. ”
He didn't feel anything when he looked at him in the shade of the pine just now, but when he approached and stood in the sun, he saw that his face was still a little pale, and Chen Jiu only felt a little sad. The blood that was finally cultivated some time ago was tossed off in just one day, and after a few days, I didn't get much back.
"Doctor Wu is really not in a good mood today, because he has already lost four sets in the morning, and it is not because no one has disturbed him."
Seeing Lin Shan's walk to the front of him, Chen Jiu didn't want to pay attention to playing chess. She grabbed Lin Shan's forearm, pulled out his hand in his sleeve, and pasted it with the palm of her hand, and then her eyebrows frowned slightly before she could sweep it, and said quietly: "This Mr. Wu is really a careless person, will he lose his soul as soon as he enters the chess realm?" At this time, it is not yet summer, and the cool breeze is gusting in the thick shade, how can you sit for a long time?"
As soon as she said this, she saw Wu Ze, who was pondering chess moves not far away, suddenly turned around and shouted: "I thought of three moves, all of them are draws." How do you count a tie?"
Lin Shan was about to answer, when he suddenly felt a tightness in his wrist. It turned out that Chen Jiu was holding his hand and dragging him away.
He hesitated slightly, but then relieved, ignoring the chess idiot who was waiting for him to reply not far behind. With the power of the infatuation in front of him, he trotted out of the East Corner Courtyard.
Until you stop. Chen Jiu realized that his move just now was too bold.
But when she met the bright eyes that she was also looking at, she suddenly felt that the wanton work just now actually gave people such a wonderful and hesitant feeling.
I really want to be like this, I can hold your hand at any time, wherever I lead you, you are willing to follow my footsteps.
Chen Jiu thought silently in his heart.
Lin Shan had been watching her quietly. It can be clearly observed that although she left the residence to recuperate for a few days, she still has fatigue and haggard between her eyebrows. Even when she smiled, the smile didn't quite stretch out.
They looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Lin Shanxian spoke up for a moment, breaking the tranquility like warm water: "What are you thinking?"
Of course, Chen Jiu would not say what she thought in her heart just now, she was stunned for a moment, she only complained: "I'm not worried about you, I don't know how to take care of myself." That's it. She took his hand and sighed, then rubbed it.
Maybe even she didn't realize it, but since the incident in the kitchen a few days ago, and then when she faced Lin Shan, she had grown a lot of initiative.
"The ice melts and the snow disappears in the spring season. These cold colds are just passing by the skin, and you are too worried, and this is not good for you. Lin Shan habitually spoke against him.
However, in some of the things that have happened in the past few days, there has been a slight change in his inherent state of mind. The thought turned slightly, and as soon as his voice raised, he called a guard close and gave a few orders. After a while, the guard came back with a jacket, he stretched his sleeves on his sleeves, straightened his placket again, and then looked at Chen Jiu and smiled and said, "You see, in fact, I am very fast at whatever I learn."
Chen Jiu was slightly stunned at first when he saw this, and then said with a smile: "Learn quickly, forget quickly."
"Yes?" When Lin Shan heard this, there was a rare innocent expression in his eyes, which made Chen Jiule laugh.
Speaking of forgetfulness, Chen Jiu suddenly remembered that she had something to tell Lin Shan when she came here, so she hurriedly smiled and carefully recounted the whole process of the scholar she had just met in the inn.
After listening to her speculation, Lin Shan's expression suddenly became solemn.
Chen Jiu stared at him for a moment, and couldn't help but whisper, "Is there anything tricky?"
Lin Shan didn't say it directly, but said slowly: "Actually, when my injuries were generally improved last year, I received a secret letter from my senior brother from Kyoto, knowing that my senior brother was going to look for me near western Sichuan. According to what you just said, the young man with the knife is the head of the ten generals of the Xiangfu, as for the person who looks like a Taoist priest, you don't know, but I can roughly guess that it should be the descendant of the Beili School. ”
……
Shi Yi got Siniang's instructions and left Dongfeng Tower to find Yi Wen, naturally returning to the house where he had been recuperating for a few months three years ago.
In the future, this house will become Xie Lianyi's private residence, Shi Yi, who was walking on the road, felt a little emotional, although Xie Lianyi will not live in Dongfeng Tower in the future, and living in this private house is not a long-term solution.
In the last few hours before Yi Wen was about to return to Liang Kingdom, Xie Lianyi asked him to get together, but the place was not in Dongfeng Tower, but he chose such a relatively secret place, Shi Yi, who had two lifetimes of life experience, could roughly guess Xie Lianyi's plan.
He wouldn't see her clearly because of her special status, in the era of his previous life, it was not uncommon to get pregnant out of wedlock. It's just that when she thinks of doing this, Dongfeng Lou may have another person with an embarrassing identity like him in the future, I don't know whether it is happy or worried.
I hope Yi Wen won't let Xie Lianyi wait too long.
Of course, if Yi Wen dared to be the second negative person behind his father in Dongfeng Building, Shi Yi would have this self-confidence and tie this second "debt collection" job to his head.
Although the house is a dead thing, this dead thing is a little special, unlike wine, which is getting older and older, and a house that has not been inhabited for a long time will gradually and naturally deteriorate. There are a few people living in the private house, mainly to do some daily cleaning and maintenance work in the house, seeing that Shi Yi is back, he hurriedly beckoned him to enter the courtyard to cross the god-level colt Read the full text.
When knocking on the door, Shi Yi thought about it, and said hello first through the door.
"Fifth aunt, I'm Xiao Yi. Can you come in?"
In the face of what might happen in the house, the best way to deal with it was not to disturb it for a day today. But if there is a reason that must be disturbed. Shi Yi couldn't think of anything other than to do it. How else can it be tactful.
"Come in."
Unexpectedly, the people in the house actually responded, listening to the tone of the voice, the person who spoke should still be very sober.
Gently pushing the door open, Shi Yi saw Yi Wen standing by the window in the house, his eyes looking out of the open window, and he didn't know where the focus was. Xie Lianyi was standing behind him. I'm combing his hair.
Although the two of them were already neatly dressed, they both had their hair scattered, and they didn't need to think about it to know what had just happened.
Shi Yi sighed lightly in his heart, and secretly said that he had come at a relatively good time. But he just had to think about it. He will understand again, if the matter of these two people is not over, the few people who stay in the house should give him a hint.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Yi Wen and Xie Lianyi looked sideways together, and Shi Yi, who was standing at the door, saw this neat scene. I secretly said in my heart: This time I saw it, but it was quite orderly.
Xie and Yi were not stupid, knowing that as soon as Shi Yi came, it was time for the two of them to say goodbye, and at this moment, the mood of the two of them fell together. The warmth of less than half an hour just now made the melancholy before parting even more unbearable.
The pain of lovesickness for more than half a year has been released in the intimacy of blending with each other just now, Xie Lianyi was tired, but as soon as she thought that it would not be long before the man with affection in her heart would be separated from herself, and then go to a foreign country more than a thousand miles away, she was reluctant to use a wisp and a half of time to see him, she simply wiped her face, and before she could describe the faded makeup, she fought with him again.
Hearing Shi Yi's voice outside the door, the two people who hugged each other tightly let go of each other, but they forgot about each other's separated hair, and still directly revealed the spring scene that the two of them had just been in the house.
However, Xie Lianyi was only embarrassed for a moment in his heart, and soon regained his calmness.
Shi Yi is no longer a filial son, he lived in Dongfeng Tower for a few months after returning to Beijing, and the people in the building usually test him with that kind of charming and infinite moves, and they have already figured out his bottom. This kid knows a lot about that aspect, but fortunately his concentration is extremely strong, otherwise he would not have been educated every day, how could he be as idle as he is now.
Hiding something in front of him seems to be a bit redundant.
In comparison, Yi Wen's thoughts at this time seemed to be on the female side. Unexpectedly, Xie Lianyi didn't shy away from it, and directly let Shi Yi in, and when Yi Wen met Shi Yi's eyes, a trace of surprise slipped through his eyes.
Shi Yi knew what was embarrassing in Yi Wen's heart, but now among the three people in the room, if two of them didn't mind and hadn't been exposed, it wouldn't be a big deal.
As long as Yi Wen and Xie Lianyi treat each other sincerely, and Shi Yi also has a supportive attitude, then there will be no flaws in this matter, except for some of the things that came earlier.
On the contrary, Yi Wen's face with a shawl looked thinner, lining the abrupt emotions on his face when he parted, which made people feel pity on the sidelines.
Despite this, Shi Yi didn't say anything about what he was seeing now, but said bluntly: "Yan Shao's family is leaving, uncle should prepare quickly."
……
Wang Chi sat quietly in the corner pavilion of the south courtyard for a full hour before slowly calming down the irritability in his heart. Wait for him to return to the study. In this way, the work was not there, and there were more than a dozen letters and six submissions on the desk.
The golden autumn season is approaching, and the folk farming affairs are gradually relaxed, but the overall affairs in the court are complicated and bloated. On the desk of the imperial study, most of the Zhu Feng tax reports submitted by the household department, the year of each place is different, and the time presented cannot be completely unified.
In the 14 years since Wang Chi ascended the throne, this final account coordination has been completed by him himself, without exception. However, this year-end overview of the statistical work. It was apparently the heaviest of his fourteen years of imperial work. Because of the increase in the statistical affairs of the two military material expenditures of the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition, as well as the new taxes of Qingchuan and Beizhou. Although these two places have just been incorporated into the Zhao Kingdom for less than half a year, and the total amount of income paid by the local governments is almost negligible, the sporadic details are extremely complicated. It's not easy to put it all together.
Sit back in your chair. Wang Chi first picked up the rock sugar lotus seed soup that Gonggong Chen sent in at the right time and moistened his throat. Then I went to see the stack of folds high up.
His hand paused, and instead of taking the top one in order, he drew the middle one. This is the twist and turn of this blue seal. Before I opened it, I knew that what was written in it must be a major event of the Ministry of Industry.
Wang Chi opened this quick look at the book, and the expression on his face suddenly changed. Gonggong Chen, who was serving on the side, looked at this scene with his eyes lowered slightly, and he was also a little frightened in his heart, but fortunately, when Wang Chi put down the blue seal notebook, his face had returned to normal. Gonggong Chen knew that the things mentioned in the Ministry of Works' recital were only thrilling again.
For this kind of situation, Gonggong Chen often served in the imperial study, and he has long been accustomed to it. Originally, he didn't want to talk too much, and Wang Chi was also very attentive and didn't like to be disturbed when reviewing these recitals. It's just that there are some exceptions today, since Wang Chi began to review the recital in the afternoon, it seems that his mind has been in a state of irritability, and he can't be as calm as before, and even put down his pen halfway, leaving the imperial study not to summon the minister, but just to meditate in the south courtyard.
At this moment, he seemed to have finally recovered his old spirits, but when Gonggong Chen breathed a sigh of relief and packed up the empty bowl and was about to withdraw, he heard Wang Chi breathe a sigh of relief, as if talking to himself: "It turns out that what made me uneasy all afternoon came from Sanmenqu. ”
Regardless of whether Wang Chi was talking to himself or not, Gonggong Chen heard his master's voice, and he had to accompany him to say a few words. He often serves here, of course he knows what Sanmenqu is, after thinking about it for a while, he followed with a smile and said: "It is Your Majesty's heart for the world that will be like this." Seeing that the end of the year is coming, the old slave is dizzy, but he can also see that there are a lot more recitals this autumn than in previous years, and the busier he is, the more His Majesty can't work too hard. ”
"You, it's true that your eyes are dizzy, and your heart is also true." Wang Chi looked at Gonggong Chen and smiled, and then his eyes fell back on the high stack of notebooks in front of him, "I can only get through it this year, and when the spring sowing is over next year, the group of young talents included in this year's spring will also be officially activated." ”
Gonggong Chen said happily: "I heard that there will be three more days of testing in the spring this year, and the number of prospective candidates has increased by nearly 100. ”
Wang Chi shook his head and said: "The champion of martial arts may not be able to immediately become a general, and the affairs of the DPRK and China that the scholars of liberal arts have to face are more complicated, and they must have a period of training and familiarity, and they can't be too easy for next year's autumn calculations." ”
"It's the old slave who is too eager to see things." Gonggong Chen lowered his head.
"It doesn't matter. These things are not in the realm of your knowledge. Wang Chi's gaze swept over the stack of seals in front of him, and finally couldn't help asking: "Hasn't the day for the second child to return to Beijing been set yet?" ”――
