197 at a loss
"Of course!" Gu Zhicheng said with a smile, "When my brother Han was born, he was found to have fetal poison in his body, and he couldn't raise it, but then the medicine jar was soaked, and he grew up." Maybe it's God's treat, he's not in good shape, but he's talented, very understanding, and he's very quick to learn anything, and he's been studying this chess for seven or eight years, and you'll know if you have a chance another day. ”
Shen Mi smiled and held the tea in his hand. Thinking of his cunning when he first met him in the Shen Mansion, to his ruthlessness in Shen Yan's relays later, to his courage in the examination room in those days, and his ability to quietly teach Gu Song's chess skills, this is really a complicated person. A young person can have so many facets of character, it should be more than just a good talent.
He took a sip of tea and said, "General Han has also made great contributions this time, and it is reasonable to be promoted to a knighthood. It's just that I don't know why after so many years, Wei Guogong has never asked him to be named the prince? "It is always puzzling that a person with outstanding talent and a very good background has not been treated as he should have been for a long time.
Of course, there are many examples of postponing the request for sealing in previous dynasties, and Shen Mi has never paid attention to it before. This is because of the attention to the person, there is this desire to inquire.
Gu Zhicheng paused slightly, and sighed lightly: "In the early years, the Duke of Wei asked the senior monk to calculate his life for him, and the hexagram said that he was not complete, and it was not suitable for him to be crowned the son of this world before the age of twenty-five, because the emperor's grace was vast, and I was afraid that he would not be able to bear it." Wei Guogong only got this son in his early twenties, so he naturally cherished him, so he never applied for it. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Zhicheng straightened up again, and said as if he had thought of something: "Speaking of my brother Han, didn't this An Ning Hou still have trouble with the two of you in the examination room?" It is said that yesterday he carried two more three-foot-high coral trees to Hanfu, but he lowered his posture and showed favor to him! - Oh, I really can't see through these people now! ”
He said with a shy stomach holding the teacup in both hands.
"An Ninghou?" Shen Mi frowned.
Han Ji was a young man, and before he was fifteen years old, he was already given the post of garrison, although there were officers younger than him during the war, but after the founding of the country, there were very few. Of course, it was not for nothing that An Ninghou did this, he thought of the excerpt on Guo Ji, so it can also be seen that in addition to Shen Guanyu, there are actually people from the queen in the six departments, but maybe the strength is not as strong as Shen Guanyu.
Of course, An Ninghou's gift will not be given in vain, the Han family is so high, it is not uncommon for you to be an uncle, but it is beneficial and harmless to express the attitude of the Liu family.
Thinking of this, he held the tea and raised his eyebrows, in the examination room, An Ninghou and Xie Manjiang forced him to accept this account, he has not yet calculated this account with him, and now the things that should be busy are over, and it is time to settle this account.
Shen Mi's eyebrows gradually cooled, and the tea in his mouth went around the tip of his tongue several times before being swallowed into his stomach.
Here, Gu Song walked out of the hall and went straight to the Shen family.
Because Shen Ming and Shen Xin began to prepare to study in Shuntian Mansion, and Shen Eun was not in the mansion during this time, the affairs of Shen Xin's enrollment were handed over to the Ji family. Ji's because Shen Rui would have to go to school in a few years, so he was more concerned about this matter, and before Hua finished talking to Shen Yan here, he was dragged to the fourth room by her.
Shen Yan remembered that Shen Kui liked to eat bad duck letters, so she asked Fu Niang to fill most of the jar and send it to him together.
The front foot just went out of the courtyard gate, and he bumped into Gu Song running in a hurry, and hurriedly stood under the threshold, who knew that he didn't speak when he arrived in front of him, his face was red, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was frightened.
Shen Yan hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Song opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
What can he say? Ask her why she didn't tell him about it? He obviously knew that Shen Mi was a master of chess, but he never thought about worshipping him as a teacher, but ridiculously gambled and went to find Han Ji silently, if he didn't go to Han Ji to learn chess, maybe he had become Shen Mi's disciple, and he could get along with her day and night with him honestly, these were all his own creations.
He stood under the threshold, his lips were about to burst, and it took him a long time to squeeze out two sentences: "It's okay, just come and see, what are you doing." ”
"Come and see me?" Shen Yan pointed to his nose, also a little stunned. They saw each other every day, sometimes more than once a day, and all of a sudden they came running to see her, and it was a little strange to look at her. She tilted her head and looked him up and down, and said, "No." I look like someone is bullying you. ”
She remembered that when they first met, he would always be angry whenever he saw her, of course, that excitement was different from the current excitement, but it was normal for different people to have different reactions.
Gu Song didn't know what to say.
The remorse in my head has simply turned into smoke at this moment.
He has grown so big, except for his father and her, who else has the audacity to bully him? Did she think that he would suffer anyone's idleness?
He glared at her, gently, as if he was afraid of poking her.
He is simply temperless in front of her now, even if he stares at her and annoys her, he cares about her, he doesn't know why she would think of begging Shen Mi for him, even if he can't become Shen Mi's disciple, her thoughtfulness is also the happiness of his life.
And the happier he became, the more helpless he became, and he didn't know how to repay her, or face her.
He took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed: "Your father is talking to my father, I feel bored, so I came to see you, maybe the weather is starting to get hot, I am running fast again, scaring you." As he spoke, as if to prove it, he raised his sleeve and printed the horn of his forehead.
Shen Yan looked at him suspiciously.
She intuitively knew that he was lying, because he was so particular about his daily life, he would never go so far as to wipe his sweat with his sleeve.
But he didn't want to say how she could persecute him.
So he shook his fan and said, "I'm going to see Brother Kui, are you going?" ”
Gu Song nodded subconsciously, but quickly shook his head again.
He was in such a mess right now, it was really inconvenient for him to be with her anymore.
Then he said: "I remember that there are still two words left to write, I will go back first, and I will come to see you when I have time." ”
Without waiting for Shen Yan to reply, he had already turned around and ran out of the door.
Shen Yan stared at his back for a moment before going to the fourth room with Fu Niang.
At this time, Shen Mi returned home, but said to Hua: "I have my own opinions about the Han family's banquet, you don't have to pay attention to it." ”
Hua is busy with a bunch of things, Mrs. Hua has set a date for returning to Beijing, and next month, Washington will buy people, and there are many trivial matters in her own house, so she is happy to let him do it, so she will not bother.
Shen Yan was also very happy because Mrs. Hua and the others were going to enter Beijing, where could she still think of this? Naturally, I didn't bother with it.
Shen Mi explained a few words to Ge Zhou here, and then didn't mention it as usual.
It was sunny for several days, and I saw that the flowers and trees inside and outside the garden were getting greener day by day, and the apricot blossoms on the wall were also full of trees, and the maids couldn't wait to change into light new clothes, and even Lu Silan's girl had lost a bit of baby fat, and put on an apricot yellow pomegranate skirt, which was as beautiful as a Sayuri.
Shen Yan went to Zishu Hutong every once in a while to help with chores. Although the matter of the emperor's secret decree has not been resolved, Han Ji doesn't know whether she is busy with promotions or other reasons, in short, she has not come to her, and she has no way to discuss with him.
But it's not in a hurry, the northwest is going to fight, and it's two years later, and there are two years, so it's enough to change it. Now that she has brought Han Ji to share the tribulation, it is no longer her alone, in terms of urgency, his urgency will not be much less than hers, so when he is not in a hurry, she has no need to worry about it for the time being.
The day when Mrs. Hua took her children to Beijing was set for the tenth day of the fourth month, and there were about 20 days left, but Shen Yan couldn't hold back her excitement.
This morning was preparing to go to Debao Zhai to order a few pots of flowers to move to Zishu Hutong, but the sky suddenly drizzled, patiently waited until the afternoon, the rain stopped, was packed up and ready to go out, standing under the second door, suddenly two horses passed by in front of the door, directly from the east corner of the door out of the house.
Shen Yan stared at his back, and said, "Isn't that the second master?"
Rouge Qingdai looked at it and nodded, "It's indeed the second master." ”
Shen Mi has always returned early, and the matter of the new yamen may have made him figure out the context, except for important or urgent matters recently, he has always returned before noon. And since he was blackmailed by Wu Chong, he has rarely gone out to socialize, except for those who are very necessary and know the roots, he will go to answer the truth.
Shen Yan hadn't heard him say that he had something to do before, and just after seeing his dress, he actually put on a newly made moon-white cloud brocade trimmed embroidered robe, and the cloak was also the dark satin robe that he didn't often wear on weekdays, and a white jade crown was officially tied on his head. ”
Qing Dai didn't answer, but Rouge thought of it: "Today, on the twentieth day, isn't there a banquet in the Wei State Mansion?" ”
Shen Mi was riding on a horse, and he didn't notice Shen Yan standing in the corner of the wall at all, and after leaving the workshop, he went straight to the direction of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and asked Ge Zhou sideways: "Are you sure that An Ninghou has arrived at the Han family?" Does he know I'm going to the feast? ”
Ge Zhou said: "It was the person sent by the small one who saw An Ning Hou enter the gate of the Han family and came back to inform the second master, it is said that An Ning Hou did not plan to go to the house in person, but only arranged for Mrs. Cai to go." Two days ago, the news that the second master would also go to the banquet spread to the outside of the Hou Anning Mansion, and that night there was a rumor in their house that the Cai family was not going, and it was changed to An Ning Hou going in person. ”R1152
