h2> he inserted the pen back into the pen holder, and said: "From this point of view, Zhao Jie is still smart, since he can't get rid of it, then take it to his side and use it himself, at least like the children cultivated by the Shen family, there are still not many people who can compare with it outside." After hundreds of years of family style and learning, more than half of the nobles in Jingshi stood in front of them, and they were ashamed of themselves. ”

Zhao Jie is the name of the first emperor, and he is a junior courtier who reads it very smoothly.

Xin Yi muttered: "It has been four or five days since the palace approved Cheng Yuan's excerpt, and this matter should not be delayed for too long before it is decided." Grandpa Guo and Liu Yaze are also old friends established when they fought the country, no matter whether they enter the cabinet or not, the young master should also go to Liufu to walk around. ”

"Not bad." Han Ji nodded, looked out the window, and said, "It's time for us to go down the mountain too." ”

"How did I lose again! ……”

At this moment, there was an excited shout from under the ginkgo tree outside the window, Dong slowly jumped up from the stone bench, patted the back of his head with one hand, and pointed to the chessboard with the other, his face full of disbelief.

"Who called you stupid! Can't even go down Song'er! ”

Xue Ting knocked him on the head with a chess game and said disdainfully.

Gu Song stood up shyly and saluted Dong slowly: "It's all the second brother Dong." ”

"Come on!"

Han Ji walked over from under the corridor with his hands in his hand, and said slowly: "Dong Slow's chess is really stinky, and he can't let you go." However, Song'er has studied for a few days, and she can be regarded as having a little foundation, and she will not be timid when playing with her friends. I'll go back to your house another day when I'm free, and I'll teach you again. ”

Gu Song heard what he said, and hurriedly said, "Is Uncle Ji ready to go home?" ”

Han Ji said with a smile: "I heard that the Fengxiang Club on Wangfu Street has a very good Huangmei opera troupe, and I have been fasting in the temple for a long time, and I plan to go over and have a look." ”

Gu Song thought for a while and said, "Then I'll invite Uncle Ji to listen to the play." ”

Xue Ting jumped over, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "There are a lot of little dramas to accompany you, Xiao Song'er is sure to go?" ”

Gu Song's face turned red and glared at him.

Dong slowly knocked Xue Ting's head: "You want to be beautiful!" If you want to play, don't be afraid that Grandpa Fuguo will know about breaking your legs! ……”

Xue Ting covered his head and bared his teeth.

The mountain breeze blew the ginkgo biloba leaves overhead, and the morning sun shone obliquely on the courtyard, and the golden color shone a little rich and extravagant in the quaint courtyard, which was both a little uninhibited and uninhibited, but also seemed warm and comfortable.

Gu Song parted ways with Han Ji and them at the corner of the street, so he went straight back to the house, went to the upper room to ask the Duchess of Rongguo to say goodbye, and when he returned to the room, he heard that Qi said that Shen Yan had come to look for him two or three times, and he immediately hated to rush to Shen's house, but he still endured it, whoever made her laugh at his bad chess skills, he had to wait until he won Lu Zhenqian to see her!

He was full of ambition and summoned Song Jiang: "You go and prepare, tomorrow I will invite Lu Sanye to come over for tea." ”

Shen Yan didn't know that Gu Song was back.

The matter of re-establishing the cabinet was finally decided in late October.

Liu Yaze entered the cabinet to govern, and specially invited Shen Guanyu to sit at the banquet on the day of the celebration banquet, Shen Guanyu and Rong Guogong, who was the in-law of Liufu, went to the banquet together, and talked about the friendship between the Shen and Gu families today, and the Shen family and the Liu family have been closer than before since then, and with the connection between the Liu and Gu families, the Shen family seems to have a foothold among the courtiers of the Zhou family.

As if to show that the Shen family father and son were also highly valued, the emperor ordered Shen Guanyu to preside over next year's Spring Festival together with Lu Ying, a scholar of the Cabinet University, and Shen Mi and several other officials selected by the six ministries served as invigilators.

Spring is a national event, and it is worth rejoicing to give up a cabinet position in exchange for such an important position. So the Shen Mansion was lively again after being quiet for two days, in addition to colleagues in the court, there were also in-laws of the Shen family, and even the same people or close friends who were distributed in other places also wrote letters to congratulate, and some even went to Beijing in person.

The inn on Fangwai Street was full of students who went to Beijing to take the exam, and every time the Shen family father and son walked out of the Fangmen, they could meet a few young people who came to mingle with each other. Shen Yan was bored and pulled Fu Niang to sneak to the street to look at them, thinking that one of them might be a champion, once nominated for the gold list to play a horse and parade on the street, the scenery was infinitely not comparable to the cold appearance in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh.

On this day, Shen Yan was tired of eating snacks at Hua's kangtou, and Ziying walked in: "Miss Lan asked the girl to come to Lu's house to talk, please come over." ”

Shen Yan raised her face from the pile of food, not knowing what Lu Silan was looking for her, but she still got up.

Lu Yushi is now also thriving in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and some gossip often comes out of the Lu family.

Of course, she didn't make friends with Lu Silan just to hear the news, Lu Silan's honesty made her like it very much, it was very pleasant to get along with such a girl, and she could feel real friendship.

She went out from the corner gate closest to the Lu family, and only then did she step out of the threshold, and she almost collided with an oncoming person!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The people who came kept apologizing.

After Shen Yan stood firmly, he raised his eyes and saw a slender young man standing in front of him, dressed in a plain robe, with a jasper ring hanging from his waist, and above was a weak chest and elegant face, and his handsome facial features were full of melancholy, it was Lu Zhenqian. "Where did Sister Yan bump into? I complained that I was in too much of a hurry, and I couldn't help it. ”

He said deeply.

Shen Yan had never really been touched, but it was rare to see him so helpless, so he couldn't help but quip: "Third Brother Lu, what's the matter, you're in such a hurry, is someone chasing you?" He looked at him with a smile, and saw that he was still holding something in his hand, so he leaned over and looked, "What is this?" ”

Lu Zhenqian hurriedly withdrew his hand and put it behind his back: "No, it's nothing." ”

But no matter how fast he moved, Shen Yan could still see clearly that it was a palm-sized round ball-shaped puppet, and it was also a very rare style of a little girl in an Oriental kimono. Shen Yan has seen a lot of these things, and he can already recognize them at a glance. Lu Zhenqian is very hearty and heroic on weekdays, but she doesn't look like a person who plays this kind of thing, but since people don't want her to know, it is inconvenient for her to inquire.

So he smiled: "Third Brother Lu is really interested. ”

After that, he went out of the door and went to Lu's house.

Lu Zhenqian's face turned red, and he coughed and hung his head.

Shen Yan went to Lu Silan's room, Lu Silan waved at her on the swing in the courtyard, and when she came over, she patted the chair and asked her to sit down, and said, "Didn't you come looking for Gu Song a few days ago?" He went back to the house, yesterday morning invited my third brother to the house to drink tea, and also played chess with my third brother, listening to the third brother, he chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds, although he only won one game of my third brother in four games, but compared with the last time, it is already very remarkable.

"You tell me the truth, did you open a small stove for him in private?"

Lu Silan pointed her pink fat finger at the tip of her nose.

"How is that possible?"

Shen Yan was also surprised when he heard this, Gu Song disappeared for a few days and his chess skills had grown? "I didn't teach him. Besides, even if I teach him, with my so-so level, it is impossible for it to be effective in such a short time,—— are you really sure that the game he won was not deliberately released by Lu Sange? "If I knew this, I should have asked Lu Zhenqian casually.

"My third brother is the most particular about chess, even if he deliberately releases water, it is impossible to take it back and tell me this." Lu Silan shook her head and said.

Shen Yan frowned and muttered, and groaned.

Lu Silan is right, Gu Song definitely has to be guided by a master to make such progress, she can't imagine who else around him besides Shen Mi has such superb chess skills, now that he has a master, then she doesn't need to ask Shen Mi to teach him? She also spent dozens of taels of silver to buy chrysanthemum seedlings in Debao Zhai to impress Shen Mi, since there is a master, she will say it early! It's a waste of her scheming.

She sat up straight, a little hateful.

"No, I've got to take a look!"

She rose to her feet, and swept out the door again like a gust of wind. Lu Silan was left on the swing one by one, hesitating and not knowing whether to chase or not.

On the side of the Rongguo Mansion, Gu Song sweated profusely and confronted Han Ji for a few rounds, then closed the stall and welcomed him into the Hongyin Hall, and set up a seat in the courtyard between the Bibo Pavilion and the outer study.

"Yesterday, I played chess with the third son of the Lu Yushi family, and I actually won a game against him." Gu Song was a little shy, "Lu Sangongzi is also a famous chess player in Guozijian, Uncle Ji only instructed me for a few days, and I won a round against him, although it is possible that he underestimated the enemy, but it still shows that Uncle Ji has good guidance." ”

Although he didn't take advantage of him today, he still gained a lot in the past half day.

Han Ji stood in the shade of the tree, took the water he handed over, and said: "At most, you can only be regarded as having mastered the fur of both hands, and if you want to talk about real kung fu, you have to study hard for at least two or three years." It's the same as practicing martial arts," he stroked the trunk of the tree in front of him and patted it, "It's not something that can be done overnight, you have to take it slowly."

"Yes." Gu Song hooked his head, very obedient.

Han Ji looked up and said, "What about your father?" ”

Gu Song said: "I just came back from the rear barracks yesterday, and I just went to Shen's house to discuss matters with Second Uncle Shen. ”

"'Second Uncle Shen'?" Han Ji smiled, "Your family is quite familiar with the Shen family now?" ”

Gu Song suddenly remembered Shen Yan's face that narrowed when he smiled, his face was slightly red, and he said, "It's quite familiar now." ”

Han Ji smiled again and gave the cup back to the little maid, "I'll go and say hello to my aunt." ”

Gu Song hummed, stood up, and led him out of the court.

After passing through the hall, Song Jiang came in and said, "Son, Miss Yan is here to look for you." ”

Gu Song's heart warmed, he hadn't seen her since he came back from Dongtai Temple, he won a game from Lu Zhenqian yesterday, and he was planning to go to Shen's house for a while, but he didn't expect her to find her by herself.

Just as Song Jiang was about to ask her to come to Qi's place to sit down first, a brisk figure flashed in under the corridor outside the door, carrying a silver twig pattern embroidered on the edge of the lotus lotus color and walking inside, while calling: "Gu Song, where are you?" ”

Gu Song hurriedly crossed the threshold, "I'm here!" ”

eager, as if afraid that she wouldn't be able to see.

Han Ji paused, and also steadily reached the bottom of the corridor. R1152
