After eating two rounds of tea in the orchid room, Shen Mixin looked out, then got up with a smile and said, "Everyone, let's talk slowly, I'll go outside to breathe." ”

The civil officials here are all of low rank, and they want to pat the sycophants of this general political lord on weekdays but can't enter. Looking at the sky, he knew that he had been pestering this adult for an hour, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Shen Mi came out and stood under the porch first.

After the rain, the evergreen trees in the courtyard are washed green, and the red apricots that have been knocked down on the ground brighten the scenery, and the air is exceptionally fresh.

An Ninghou was talking to Jian'an Bo Shizi and several other nobles, turned his head and saw Shen Mi standing alone under the corridor, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said goodbye to Jian'an Bo Shizi and others, walked over, and said, "Brother Zi Yan is not harmed?" ”

He is a little older than Shen Mi, and in the examination room, he called him Brother Shen, but now he has become Brother Ziyan.

Shen Mi walked to the pillar, casually dusted off the raindrops on the crape myrtle branches that came from the corridor, and said, "It turned out to be An Ninghou, such a coincidence." ”

An Ninghou stepped up the steps, sighed, and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Ziyan, Liu Mou came to compensate Brother Ziyan this time." ”

"Where do you start?" Shen Mi took his hand, turned slightly sideways, and stared at him: "Master Hou is a dignified uncle, don't say that you can't afford this title, but you can afford it, how can you and I ever have a festival?" Hou Ye's words really overwhelmed the lower officials. ”

An Ninghou was embarrassed like something, thinking that he was a dignified uncle, who should have flaunted his might, but he repeatedly bent his waist in front of these people, and when King Zheng ascended the throne in the coming day, he would see if he would take care of them!

He straightened his waist slightly, and sighed: "In the Spring Examination Room, Liu's behavior is indeed inappropriate, but Liu's admiration for adults' character and talent is a heaven and earth!" Today, I don't want to look for adults for anything else, I just ask that adults can see my sincerity and forgive Liu this time. ”

Shen Mi didn't speak, his eyes stared at the flowers and leaves in front of him, and he didn't know if he had heard these words into his ears.

An Ning Hou paused, and suddenly took out two pieces of orange peel Huangshoushan stone that was carved into long strips from his cuffs, stretched out his hand in front of him, and said: "The day before yesterday, Liu occasionally got these two good stones, because he knew that there was little ink in his stomach, he was afraid that he would destroy the heavenly things, and he thought about it, and only Brother Ziyan was worthy of these two stones, and today he knew that Brother Ziyan was here, so he brought it with him, and I hope that Brother Ziyan will accept it with a smile." ”

Shoushan stone is the king of seal stones, and such orange peel yellow is rare. Most of the literati and writers are people who like gold and stone engraving, even elegant people like Shen Eun, and they will never think that there are too many such stones.

Such a stone will cost a thousand taels of silver, to say the least.

But in many cases, the rarer things are, the more valuable they are, so money is a trivial matter, and key things are rare.

Shen Mi didn't seem to be able to resist this temptation, stood still for a while, and finally took the two stones in his hand.

It is really a good stone under a closer look, warm as jade in the hand, rich in texture, and the radish lines on the top are clear and fine, which makes people love it.

Shen Mi looked at the light of heaven for a long time, and then picked up another piece to look at it carefully, although he was not as surprised as those who had never seen the world, but his slightly narrowed eyes showed his appreciation for them.

An Ninghou looked at his expression carefully, stepped forward and said, "How is it?" Can this stone still get into the eyes of adults? ”

Shen Mi withdrew his hand and said, "If such things can't get into the eye, there are few things in the world that can't get into the eye." ”

An Ninghou was overjoyed when he heard this. hurriedly said: "Flowers with beauties, swords for heroes." Then it belongs to adults! ”

Shen Mi turned around, glanced at the guests walking around in the distance, pushed the stone back to him and said, "What does Hou Ye mean by this?" In front of so many people, I was asked to accept this stone, because I was afraid that no one would participate in my copy? ”

The first thing to check in the court law is the general administration department for the courtiers to be greedy for ink and bribes, and when the emperor promoted him to the general government, he probably took a fancy to his solid family background, and he was not easily confused by money.

An Ninghou took a look around, and sure enough, someone was curiously glancing at them. Shen Mi's identity is different, he is also the uncle of the country, and now King Zheng and King Chu are competing for the crown prince, if someone suspects that he bought Shen Mi to influence the emperor's decision-making and participate in a book, then Shen Mi is not the only one who is unlucky!

He immediately couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, hurriedly stuffed the stone back into his sleeve, and arched his hand: "What my lord reminded me is that Liu was negligent!" When I turn around, I will send this stone to the house, and no one will notice it! ”

Shen Mi said this, obviously there was a loose meaning, which made him very happy, it seems that gift-giving is also about skill, if he gives him a thousand taels of silver instead, I am afraid that he will be thrown over with two thousand taels in turn and slapped in the face!

But at the same time, he complained a little, since he had the heart to accept this stone, why didn't he talk in a different place?

But it doesn't matter, as long as he is willing to accept it, it means that there is a play.

When he comes over completely, it will be much more crisp to split him and the Hua family.

He smiled and clasped his hands, and the hanging heart finally let go.

Shen Mi turned around, walked down the stone steps with his hands in his hands, browsed all over the courtyard, and took a folding fan to pick up the begonias in the corner, turned around and smiled: "Master Hou has a heart." However, it would be nice if you could give me a copy of the origin of this stone. ”

Origin? Isn't that just a backup list?

"It's nature." An Ninghou nodded, "Since it is a treasure, it is natural to have a source." Brother Ziyan rest assured, this will be done for you. ”

There are often all kinds of unwritten exquisiteness in the officialdom of gift-giving, often in order to cope with the imperial court investigation, the things received will fabricate a reason, so as to prove that it is not for no reason, and there will be trouble in the future, such as the person who gave the gift has the intention of repenting, or the person who has made a false accusation, and the person receiving the gift has a corroboration. That's why there's such a thing as a gift list.

An Ninghou is accustomed to this way, and naturally knows how to do it. I secretly remembered not to mention it in my heart.

After the dinner, everyone said goodbye and went home.

Xue Ting and Dong walked slowly, Gu Song stayed for a while, said hello to Gu Zhicheng, and left the house as if the soles of his feet were greased.

When they arrived at the entrance of Fuwai Street, Xue Ting and the others had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw him rushing over, they couldn't help complaining: "Why is it so long?" ”

Gu Song said: "My father drank high, and he talked to him for a few words before getting out." ”

Dong said slowly: "Don't say so much, let's ambush first, I heard that An Ninghou had already gotten into the sedan chair, and I estimated that he would come out soon." ”

Gu Song nodded, and the three of them quietly walked out of the workshop, and then ambushed in an alley that An Ninghou had to pass through to return to his house.

There are many ancient buildings in Jingshi, and the emperors of all dynasties have built their capitals here, so they have long formed a regular terrain. The environment around the Wei Mansion is similar to that outside the Qilin Fang, which is called the Vermilion Bird Fang. The street outside Suzaku Fang is also prosperous, with many shops, but it rained today, and the shops closed early, and the night seemed to come earlier than usual.

Dong slowly picked up the broken wall with a window, this is an uninhabited house, through the window hole can see the door wall opposite three zhang away. At present, the locust trees on the side of the street are shaking slightly in the drizzle, and the light of the houses opposite is shining coldly, and there are no pedestrians on the road, and occasionally there are one or two, who are also in a hurry.

Dong Slow took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and said, "I just asked the guards to get some taro juice, this thing is itchy on my body!" Have you all got your stuff ready? ”

"It's been ready for a long time!" Xue Ting lifted a burden at his feet, patted it and said, "Wait a minute, look at me!" ”

The two forgot about Gu Song again: "What about you?" ”

Gu Song took out a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, and then took a piece of dark blue silk cloth and covered his face, only to see that the original faint white light suddenly turned dark blue under the filter of the blue cloth, and the faces of the three of them also became hideous and terrifying.

Xue Ting laughed: "This thing is good!" I'm not afraid to pretend to be like this now! ”

Dong slowly looked out, stretched out his hand to cover the night pearl and said, "Put it away, there are many people coming, maybe he is here!" ”

Xue Ting and Gu Song hurriedly got ready.

Sure enough, it was An Ninghou and his party.

An Ninghou sat in the sedan chair, thinking that Shen Mi had finally made progress here, and couldn't help but feel at ease, so he was thinking about how to come to this gift list in the sedan chair, in order to achieve the effect of getting close to Shen Mi, should there be anything else? After all, the Hua family will soon enter Beijing, and it is time to attack Hua Juncheng, before rushing to the Hua family, he must first squeeze Shen Mi firmly in the palm of his hand.

The Hua family's matter is always a piece of his heart, and he has to get rid of them, so that Shen Guanyu's chess piece can be considered safe.

He was meditating, when suddenly the guards in front of the sedan shouted, "Who is it?!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the sedan chair also stopped.

"What's going on?" He asked in a deep voice with his eyebrows condensed.

Long followed Li Changshun under the window and said: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, I don't know what's wrong, the locust tree on the side of the road suddenly broke its branches and blocked the way." ”

It's bad luck.

An Ninghou's brows furrowed even tighter. He is still waiting to go back to the Shen family!

"Move out of the way!"

Whenever he went out, he was accompanied by seven or eight guards, and this little thing could not be delayed for long.

Because the road is blocked, it is naturally inconvenient for people on both sides of the street to let in. Li Changshun sent two people to watch from the front and back, and here he commanded people to move the branches.

Suddenly, a faint blue light gradually lit up on the dim tree top, from far to near, from small to large, Li Changshun saw it first, and then those guards also saw it, the top of the tree was pitch black and long, and there could be no light, this blue light came very strangely, Li Changshun was suddenly terrified, and the guards invariably pulled out their knives.

Suddenly, as soon as someone's throat broke, someone screamed, "Ghost! ――”R1152
