"Follow our carriage?"

"Yes."

"The two of them never argued?"

"Nope."

Wen Sheng was puzzled. She debunked Wang Thirteen's trick of filling his pockets, and made that kid run away, why did he get rid of that young man in just a while?

Just now, I saw Wang Guangji's nephew with anger on his face, his hands and feet trembling, what, it turned out that the thunder was loud and the rain was small.

He lost his anger so quickly, and it seemed that he still attached great importance to that Wang Thirteen.

Li Cao's expression was a little solemn, and he ordered the entourage who was driving the car: "Speed up." ”

The entourage responded, the whip in his hand sounded crisply, and the horse's hooves went straight to West Street.

With such a play, Wen Sheng really couldn't go back to his residence in Dongfeng Lane tonight, so he had to follow Li Cao and Du Yuanpu to Ping'an Hutong first.

After arriving home, Du Yuanpu instructed the people below to clean up a guest room for Wen Sheng, and according to the person sent to keep an eye on him, the two men followed him all the way to the mouth of the alley.

Those soldiers in the house are preparing to do it as long as the two of them enter the alley, everyone will do it together, no matter how powerful Wang Thirteen is, he can't stand the crowd, who knows that the two people circled at the mouth of the alley for a while and didn't come in, the young man sighed and was persuaded by Wang Thirteen to go back.

The soldiers still thought about Du Yuanpu's instructions and wanted to follow them to see again, but they only followed half a street, less than a hundred zhang away, and were discovered by the thirteenth king.

Wang 13 held back the bad water and didn't break it, and waited until he walked to a sewage ditch before he made a surprise move, how could the two soldiers beat him, Wang 13 didn't hurt people, but grabbed it and threw it into the stinky ditch.

In this round of competition at night, Wang 13 was not painful. Wang Guangji's nephew didn't think about him, and he suffered a small loss when he came to the General's Mansion.

After Wen Sheng heard about it, most of the joy in his heart dissipated.

However, she didn't have time to pay attention to that Wang Thirteen at this time, the time agreed with Li Ji was almost up, she stayed in Ping'an Hutong for another whole day, and early in the morning, she and Du Yuanpu took a car to Cheng Guogong's Mansion to get a letter of recommendation.

Cheng Guogong's Mansion is located in Santai Lane, deep in Yingtai Street. Monopolize an entire alley. The front door was wide and flat enough to accommodate hundreds of carriages.

It's just that there are a large number of guards guarding the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and the idle people are not allowed to approach at all.

Wen Sheng and Du Yuanpu got out of the car far away. Walk up and explain the situation to the guards.

As soon as he announced his name, the guard on the door nodded in recognition before Tiriki could invite him. said: "Got it, please come in." ”

Wen Sheng and Du Yuanpu glanced at each other. Stepping up the steps. When he entered the vermilion gate, a person who looked like a steward greeted him and said, "Two of you, please come with me, Grandpa Guo has ordered." I didn't see any guests this morning, just waiting for the two of you. ”

Hey, I actually wanted to see Li Chengyun first.

Could it be that there has been a change in the matter of book recommendations?

The two followed the steward into the palace. The garden of the Guogong Mansion is very large and has a complex layout. On the way, there were many arches, and the courtyards were quiet, and I didn't know who lived there.

After walking for half an hour, the steward led them into a side courtyard, and as soon as they entered, Wen Sheng felt that this courtyard was a little different from other places.

In the winter, the yard is full of flowers, the path between the flowers is full of green, and through the flowers and trees, I can hear the chirping birds in front of me.

The yard is so lively and full of life.

Wen Sheng guessed that this was about Liji's residence.

Sure enough, there was a ginkgo tree at the door of the house at the end of the trail, with many bird cages hanging on the branches, and the birds in it were jumping around and chirping, and two people stood side by side under the tree, feeding these birds, it was Li Chengyun and Li Ji.

Liki is not veiled today, her skin is very white, she looks like fine jade in the sun, giving people a crystal clear feeling, her eyes are large, the eye sockets are slightly sunken, and the color of her pupils is blue, like clear lake water.

Although it is not a beautiful appearance of the country and the city, it has a unique style and makes people reverie.

Wen Sheng and Du Yuanpu approached to salute, and Li Chengyun glanced at the two of them and said, "Forget it, let's be exempt." As he spoke, he was still teasing the cockatoo in the cage.

Wen Sheng couldn't tell what he meant by staying here, so he couldn't help but go to see Liji.

Liji pulled Li Chengyun's sleeve and said, "I don't care, you can talk to them." ”

Li Chengyun patted Liji's hand soothingly, and then said to Wen Sheng: "I have ordered someone to change the title deed of the racecourse, and you can take it back in a while." As for the recommendation, since Liki promised you, I will write to you as well. ”

Wen Sheng felt that things were not so simple, if Li Chengyun was really so happy, he would just hand over the letter of recommendation to Li Ji and transfer it to himself, why should he wait here?

Sure enough, I heard him say again: "It's not that I heard Liji say, I didn't know that you were the Gu girl who wrote poems in Minghe, although Feng Songchuan I am not afraid of him, but I don't want to be a shield in such a daze." ”

Wen Sheng opened his mouth to speak, but Li Chengyun raised his hand to stop her: "You listen to me finish speaking." Who is who is between you and Feng Songchuan, and you don't want to hear it, and you don't want to ask, I'll give you the recommendation, save my face, you go to participate in the Xuanyin Pavilion apprenticeship selection, although you don't get any care, you won't be embarrassed. But I have one condition. ”

After he said so much earlier, Wen Sheng was already mentally prepared, and when he saw him stop, he hugged his fists and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Li Chengyun smiled: "I appreciate your talent for painting the night before yesterday, Li Ji usually has one less person to talk to, let's make a bet, you take my recommendation to participate in the selection at the beginning of next month, if you are selected, you will be at ease in Xuanyin Pavilion to learn music and rhythm, if you are unsuccessful, you will come to my house to be a guest and accompany Li Ji." How's that, can you dare to bet? ”

Du Yuanpu was excluded for half a day, couldn't interject, and couldn't help but be secretly anxious.

The gamble that Li Chengyun said was completely beyond everyone's expectations in advance, Wen Sheng went to participate in the selection, there were too many uncertain factors, and he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be selected, and it was okay to win at that time, once he was defeated, wouldn't today's recommendation become a deed of sale?

By no means, this matter needs to be considered in the long run.

Wen Sheng was silent for a while, and she was also weighing the pros and cons of this matter.

If you don't agree to Li Carrier, you can't get the letter of recommendation, there is Feng Songchuan as a hindrance, and it is hopeless to participate in the selection of Xuanyin Pavilion's apprentices......

But if she didn't participate in the selection of Xuanyin Pavilion's apprentices, what else could she do to save Master and Qi Qin?

Compared to the two, does she still have a choice?

Having said that, as long as the selection is fair, she should fight hard, how can she fall behind.

Wen Sheng let out a long breath and asked Li Chengyun, "Grandpa Guo, is this a gentleman's agreement?" ”

Li Chengyun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Yes." You can rest assured, my lord has given you a letter of recommendation, and I am also looking forward to you entering the Xuanyin Pavilion, so that you will not lose my face. We will never use power to influence the outcome of the selection. ”

Wen Sheng can still be so calm and cautious at this time, which makes him look at him even more differently.

He had already guessed what the little girl would give him.

Sure enough, Wen Sheng was relieved when he heard Li Chengyun's words, and said happily: "Okay, Grandpa Guo, let's make a decision." ”

Li Chengyun laughed and laughed heartily: "Okay." Liki, you go and get her the letter of recommendation. You and Mr. Du are both present and have heard it, so it's time to testify. ”

Liki gave him a sneer, turned and went into the house.

After a pause, she came out with the recommendation letter she had written long ago in her hand and handed it to Wen Sheng.

The mulberry paper used to write the recommendation is of moderate thickness, the back is yellow powder and wax, sprinkled with gold sheets, and the lower right corner of the front is stamped with the vermilion seal of the Yangwen "Jianzhao Year Jade Plate".

At first glance, it is made by the inner government.

Compared with this piece of paper that is noble and cannot be seen by ordinary people at all, Li Chengyun's recommendation is mediocre, with only two dry sentences.

This should be similar to everyone, and it would be best to be able to do so.

Wen Sheng took a closer look and carefully put away this "deed of sale".

Li Chengyun told Li Ji that he had other things, and told Du Yuanpu and Wen Sheng to accompany Li Ji to talk, and then left the courtyard with a smile.

As soon as Li Chengyun left, a little maid came over and respectfully asked Liji what she had to say, Liji waved her hand and told her to quickly take off all the bird cages on the tree and take them away, and the little maid responded with a smile.

Li Ji ordered someone to set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, served a table of tea and fruit snacks, and invited Wen Sheng and Du Yuanpu to sit down.

This is a posture for a long talk.

Wen Sheng and Du Yuanpu sat down, Li Ji took out the painting, and listened to Du Yuanpu recall what he saw and heard when he accompanied Ji Nantang in Hanzi.

When Wen Sheng and Du Yuanpu walked out of the Guogong Mansion, it was already noon, and the two went back to Ping'an Hutong and told Li Cao about the results.

Compared with Li Du and the others, Wen Sheng was quite open-minded, and comforted the two of them: "Don't worry, even if it really doesn't work, it's just a doorman, and it's not really a slave." At that time, he said that Li Chengyun was moved to ask the second prince to come out, and there was nothing wrong with going the same way. ”

That being said, both of those men knew Wen Sheng's temper and knew that she was just saying nice things to comfort herself.

Li Cao said: "There are just ten days left, don't do anything, don't think about anything, just concentrate on preparing for the exam, Yuan Pu and I will walk around to see if we can find out any internal news." ”

Wen Sheng smiled: "The two of you must always have some confidence in me, as long as this selection is fair, I am confident that there will be no accidents." ”

That afternoon, Wen Sheng quietly returned to the house in Dongfeng Lane, and her piano was still here.

There were only ten days left, and she was ready to close the door and calm down and practice the piano.

Who knows, that night, there will be an uninvited visit. (To be continued) R640
