"Qin Ju, you said, I am your best friend, you must come back to see me often in the future, I will not go anywhere in the imperial city, as long as you come back, you will definitely be able to find me!"

Lin Qingqing staggered after a few steps, fortunately Qin Xu's horse had not yet run, only to see Qin Xuan hurriedly pull the reins, looking back at Lin Qingqing's sad appearance, his heart was also very moved.

"I remember it, Qingqing, go back quickly! You have to live each day healthy and smooth, and we'll see you again, and it won't take long, I promise! ”

It wasn't until he got Qin Ying's affirmative reply that Lin Qingqing stopped, looked up at his once closest friend, and nodded very reluctantly. Qin Yu raised his head again and waved his hand like Su Mian and the others, then turned around and left, never stopping.

Although Lin Qingqing felt uncomfortable, she didn't cry anymore after seeing Qin Yu leave, but she kept a calm face, Su Mian really couldn't rest assured, so she asked Lu Zhe to send her back first.

Qin Yu's matter came to an end, Su Mian naturally couldn't be busy with other things all day long, there were still a bunch of things to deal with by herself, and she continued to bury herself in her "career", almost like a spinning top, spinning all day long.

Gu Zhixing was really distressed, seeing that she was only busy with business every day and didn't have a good rest, she couldn't help but drag Su Mian out of the palace this day, and threatened to take her to the West Market to find the most authentic roasted pork.

"Lord Wang, where is the little vendor you are talking about? If he didn't have a fixed stall, he might not be able to find it today, so why did he want to eat it today? ”

Although Su Mian likes to wander around with nothing to do on weekdays, he still has many things in his heart, so even if he goes out to play, he may not be very happy, and even a little impatient.

In fact, Gu Zhixing also said casually, most of the people in this West Market will have more gadgets that ordinary people love to visit, although it is not as prosperous as the East Market, but he thinks that he should bring Su Mian people to the West Market for a walk, maybe she will be in a better mood.

So now that Su Mian asked, Gu Zhixing naturally sold Guanzi, blindly commanded, and took Su Mian around.

Su Mian also sensed that Gu Zhixing might have deliberately just wanted to take himself in circles, although he could understand his intentions, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he was about to propose whether to go back, but when he looked up, he found that the person in front of him seemed to be quite familiar.

"Lord Wang, Miss Su?"

The man was obviously stunned, after seeing Su Mian and Gu Zhixing clearly. hurriedly saluted first. His well-informed appearance made Su Mian uncomfortable, and Gu Zhixing naturally felt that something was wrong for a while, after all, the last time he fought with him, he still beat him to a blue nose and swollen face.

"Teng Zixing? Why are you here, we sent our guys to the infirmary a few times later, and the doctors said that you were well and left without saying anything. As I said before, if you have any difficulties, you will come directly to the palace to find us, and today I have some broken silver with me, so why don't I give it to you first? ”

What Su Mian is talking about now is the one thing that Gu Zhixing injured someone before and needs to be compensated.

She knew that Gu Zhixing was not short of money, but she didn't want Gu Zhixing to be criticized later, although this scholar seemed to be quite disappointed after knowing that he was being used, and he didn't continue to do the opposite with Gu Zhixing in righteous words.

But after all, he was injured, recuperated for a period of time, and missed the imperial examination, such a loss is not small, I am afraid that these broken silver on his body cannot compensate for it now.

After Gu Zhixing saw clearly that the person in front of him was Teng Zixing, he just nodded and didn't communicate with him too much. Although he beat Teng Zixing before, no matter whether he was used or not, he was really to blame that day.

So Gu Zhixing didn't feel sorry for him, not to mention that now that Su Mian was so concerned about him as soon as he came, Gu Zhixing was a little unhappy in his heart.

And Teng Zixing was now hurriedly waving his hand, unwilling to accept Su Mian's broken silver, when he looked up at Gu Zhixing, although his face was a little embarrassed, he finally opened his mouth.

"It was the palace that paid for me to heal my injuries, I am already very grateful, where do I dare to accept Miss Su's money? What's more, although there was a misunderstanding in the previous matter, it was indeed my own carelessness, so I was taken advantage of, and now I think that I haven't apologized to the prince in person, so I am really stupid. ”

Teng Zixing said this, and gave Gu Zhixing a big salute, but Gu Zhixing just looked at him coldly, a little unwilling to deal with it.

Seeing this, Su Mian hurriedly turned Gu Zhixing with his elbow and motioned for him to react, and Gu Zhixing reluctantly said "um".

Although Su Mian knew that Gu Zhixing was not a particularly stingy person, Gu Zhixing was probably still uncomfortable in his heart about the previous incident. However, Teng Zixing took the initiative to apologize, and Su Mian also wanted to make a round, so he hurriedly laughed and said a bunch of greetings.

"As long as you can heal from your illness and don't fall into the root of it. The prince did make a heavier move that day, and the prince was also at fault, and the prince has now let it go, right? Now that it's such a coincidence, I actually met you here, you should have come to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and plan to prepare for next year's scientific examination, right? ”

Su Mianyuan thought that a stubborn reader like Teng Zixing must have gone all the way to the dark, and he would not want to turn back if he didn't take the test to gain fame.

But before he finished saying this, Teng Zixing's expression suddenly became very bad, and Su Mian realized if he had said the wrong thing, but if he wanted to explain it forcibly, he was afraid that it would only be more embarrassing.

Teng Zixing just hesitated for a while, and when he looked up again, he also answered Su Mian's question one by one.

"Don't hide it from the prince and Miss Su, where does the villain dare to participate in the scientific examination now? Having offended the regent, my current career has not yet begun, and it has already come to an end. I'm just here to find a stall in the West Market to make a living copying books, at least to support myself. ”

I didn't expect to see him for a few months, this Teng Zixing was a high-spirited reader from the beginning, but now he has been reduced to a book copyist, Su Mian's expression was a little embarrassed, but he felt even more awkward in his heart.

Originally, when Su Mian said that he was also at fault, Gu Zhixing wanted to refute it a little, but he didn't say anything because he was too lazy to deal with these Diao people. Now listening to the meaning of Teng Zixing's words, I am afraid that there are still some complaints, so Gu Zhixing really couldn't help but snort coldly.

"It's still unknown whether you have the ability to embark on a career in office, why did you become the king and hurt you? Besides, you lost your mind that day, and you were used as a gunman, and this king did not pursue it, for the sake of impulsively beating you that day, we have already cleared it up. ”

Su Mian felt that Teng Zixing was quite pitiful, but as soon as Gu Zhixing's words came out, Su Mian was not happy, and glared back at Gu Zhixing.

If it weren't for their bad luck, how could they say that they are at least a lifter now, how could they have fallen into such a situation?

Teng Zixing didn't dare to blame Gu Zhixing, but he remembered that he only knew how to bury his head in reading before, and his stomach was full of ink, but in the end, he ended up in such a situation, and he really couldn't help but be disappointed. So even if it's just a hasty salute, I plan to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Su Mian remembered that when Teng Zixing and the prince had a dispute that day, they seemed to have said a lot of big truths, although they didn't like it very much, but there were people behind them who spread the word of mouth, and they could also hear that Teng Zixing was indeed a learned person, and he didn't want to see him buried like this.

What's more, she is living so miserably now, and she is somewhat related to herself, Su Mian has no way to feel that it is completely none of her business, so she hurriedly called Teng Zixing.

"Teng Zixing, wait, if you really have real talent and real learning, why are you afraid that there is no place to shine? If you still want to participate in the scientific examination, I believe that as long as the prince says a word, those people will not dare to embarrass you on the grounds of the prince anymore, but don't give up. ”

didn't expect Su Mian to say this, Gu Zhixing became more and more unhappy, but in fact, looking at Teng Zixing's appearance now, compared to the two of them when he collided with him that day, Gu Zhixing also felt that there were indeed some pity, but he did blame himself for being incompetent.

Teng Zixing stopped abruptly, turned his head, but instead of the surprised and shocked look that Su Mian thought, he smiled a little helplessly, and finally waved his hand.

"Miss Su probably doesn't know about this officialdom, even if the prince says it himself, some things are difficult to change. That's it, as long as you can still deal with these poems and books for the rest of your life, it's not a pity. ”

Seeing Teng Zixing's insistence on doing this, although Su Mian felt worthless for her in her heart, she was about to give up persuading him, but when she saw Teng Zixing, she suddenly didn't know what she thought, and asked with some emotion.

"But I heard that Miss Su has the emperor's permission to build a academy? Recently, I heard that it is about to be built, although I don't have the blessing to study in the academy, but if I can, can Miss Su let me take a look at the academy? Even if it's just to look at. ”

Unexpectedly, Teng Zixing also knew about the imminent completion of the academy, Su Mian listened to his request was not too much at all, and why did it sound so sad? Thinking about how high-spirited he was before, but now that he has become like this, Su Mian feels even more uncomfortable.

So almost for a moment, Su Mian didn't explain much to Gu Zhixing, and she had an idea. Whether it is others who think they are doing charity, or simply pity Teng Zixing, she now feels that Teng Zixing should not live up to her expectations.

"Of course you can, and I really have something about the academy, and I want you to help. After the college was completed and officially put into use, we lacked many teachers. Even if you don't teach, you need many people to manage the academy together, if you don't mind Teng Zixing, can you come and help when the time comes? ”
