Shen Bai talked a lot, and after he finished talking about business, he told Zhao Heng some interesting things, these things were not painful, but they surprisingly made Zhao Heng feel very interesting, which made Zhao Heng laugh several times.

Sun Yuehai, who was waiting outside the pavilion, was secretly surprised when he heard it, he had served in front of the emperor for so long, and he had never seen His Majesty so happy.

The advantage of being able to talk is that when Shen Bai left, he was given a lot of good medicine.

Sun Yuehai listened to it all, and when he sent the two out of the palace, his attitude towards Shen Bai was obviously much more respectful.

Although Shen Bai is just a tanhualang and has not yet become an official, with this ability to coax the Sacred Heart to be happy, are you still worried about the future?

All the way out of the palace gate, Shen Bai refused to allow Sun Yuehai to arrange a carriage in the palace to send them back for Gu Hengzhou, saying that he wanted to go to the city to walk around, both of them were very assertive, Sun Yuehai did not insist, bent over and watched the two leave.

Walking out of the palace gate for a distance, around the corner, Shen Bai immediately appeared in his original form, bent his shoulders and said to Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, I'm so hungry, just now in front of Your Majesty, I was reserved and didn't dare to eat more." ”

You didn't look reserved in front of Your Majesty just now.

Gu Hengzhou slandered, the expression on his face was faint, Shen Bai shook his body to play a scoundrel, and his two arms shook slightly, Gu Hengzhou raised his hand to hold her shoulder, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Shen Bai's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gu Hengzhou eagerly and asked, "The weather is so hot, how about I invite Brother Gu to eat a bowl of cold skin?" ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't have much pursuit of appetite, and followed Shen Bai to move forward.

There was a rainstorm just a few days ago, and it was a sunny day for several days in a row, the afternoon sun was very scorching, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, Shen Bai faced Gu Hengzhou and walked forward backwards, the scorching sun made people feel hot, but as soon as she looked down and saw her shadow at Gu Hengzhou's feet, Shen Bai felt that the sun was all shining in her heart, and it was hot and soft and painful.

It was the first time she had wandered around with Gu Hengzhou so leisurely.

In the previous life, Gu Hengzhou went to Lingzhou to take up his post after finishing his studies at Tai Academy, and the number of times he returned to Hanjing was only a handful, and every time he was in a hurry, Shen Bai could only have a meal with him and say a few words, and later she joined the office, and the number of times she met Gu Hengzhou was even less.

Gu Hengzhou was busy leading the troops to fight, she was busy playing tricks with the old foxes in the court, and the two of them got together to talk about the current situation, thinking about it carefully, they cared very little about each other.

With a slight blockage in his chest, Shen Bai couldn't help but propose: "Brother Gu, it's rare for you to take a break today, why don't I take you around Hanshang Jingli." ”

Gu Hengzhou grew up in Hanjing since he was a child, and he can't say that he has stepped on every floor tile in Hanshangjing, but he has been to all the streets and alleys, and he has nothing to do with what he wants to go, so he refused coldly: "I'm going to see Uncle Zhou in the afternoon." ”

Shen Bai didn't give up, and said, "Then go shopping after watching Captain Zhou." ”

Afraid that Gu Hengzhou would refuse, Shen Bai hurriedly added: "Brother Gu, the same scenery and different people will have different moods, and Brother Gu is busy with schoolwork and school camp affairs on weekdays, and there are very few times when he travels, there are many interesting places in this Han Shangjing, you must have never been there, I guarantee that Brother Gu will definitely not be disappointed when he follows me!" ”

Shen Bai's eyebrows were crooked, and he grinned happily.

She was wearing Gu Hengzhou's old clothes, the clothes were a little bigger, the cuffs were rolled up, and the hem of the clothes was almost mopping the floor, making her more and more petite and weak, as if Gu Hengzhou could knock her to the ground with one finger, but there were sparks in her eyes, which were more dazzling than the scorching sun above her head, and Gu Hengzhou's refusal to her mouth could not be said after all.

With his acquiescence, Shen Bai was so happy that he was jumping when he walked.

All the way to the cool skin shop, Shen Bai raised his voice familiarly: "Grandma, two bowls of cold skin, one bowl of green onion and no spicy, less sugar and more vinegar!" ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, she sat on the chair at the table next to the door, the shop was a little far away from the palace gate, her cheeks were flushed with the sun, but her two hands couldn't fan the wind to cool off, so she could only stick out her tongue like a puppy and pant.

Her tongue was pink and tender, and there were a few small wounds on her tongue, Gu Hengzhou saw it, her eyes were slightly dark, and she reminded with a tense face: "In front of the public, pay attention to your appearance." ”

Shen Bai withdrew his tongue and sold miserably by habit: "But Brother Gu, I'm so hot." ”

Gu Hengzhou got up, took the pu fan that his grandmother had placed on the table, sat down next to Shen Bai, and shook the fan casually.

The strong cool breeze instantly dispelled the heat, Shen Bai turned his head and looked at Gu Hengzhou in surprise, she was just habitually cheating, she didn't expect this person to help her shake the fan.

Shen Bai asked softly: "Brother Gu, you are so gentle, aren't you afraid that I will like you more and more and will not be able to extricate yourself?" ”

Gu Hengzhou's expression did not change, and he said coldly: "That's your business!" ”

Deciding to like him is her business, he won't respond, but he won't stop it.

Shen Bai's heart is bulging, and he can't wait to beat the gong and shout all over the street, open my eyes wide and take a good look, this is the master of the master, who dares to say that he is not gentle and considerate, be careful that the master blows your dog's head!

Grandma quickly served the cold skin, and Shen Bonunu asked her to put the portion without onion and sugar in front of Gu Hengzhou, and Gu Hengzhou's hand shook the fan slightly.

He rarely expressed his appeals, and after so many years in the Guogong Mansion, no one found out that he didn't like to eat green onions, and no one asked him about his preferences, but Shen Bai knew all about it.

Gu Hengzhou's throat rolled up and down, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were unconsciously dyed with two points of soft warmth, and Shen Bai was still chattering beside him: "Brother Gu, the cold skin in this house is delicious, I guarantee that you want to eat it a second time after eating it once!" ”

As she spoke, Shen Bai raised her left hand and was about to eat with chopsticks, but with one hand, she took away the bowl of cold skin in front of her, and looked up suspiciously, Gu Hengzhou took a chopstick cold skin with an expressionless face and put it in front of Shen Bai.

Shen Bai was shocked: "Brother Gu, do you want to feed me?" ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't speak, and fed the cool skin to Shen Bai's mouth, Shen Bai quickly digested this huge surprise, the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, and then began to make a request: "Brother Gu, the cold skin is not eaten like this, you mix it first, don't clip so many chopsticks, I can't eat it, and ...... Not. ”

Gu Hengzhou patiently stirred the cool skin twice, and then grabbed a chopstick and blocked Shen Bai's mouth.

The action was a little rude, but Shen Bai didn't feel any pain at all, and a smile bloomed on his face.

After feeding Shen Bai to eat, Gu Hengzhou lowered his head to eat his bowl, and at this time, two guests came in and began to gossip after ordering food.

"Have you heard? Zhao Vice Wei of the school captain battalion and Zhou Xiaowei did not agree, and hired a murderer to lead Zhou Xiaowei to the Goulan Courtyard in the next three indiscriminate, wanting to frame and blame Zhou Xiaowei, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the prince of Zhenguo, and the matter was exposed. ”

"No, I heard that Zhao Vice Wei's uncle is a squire in the military department, and the two of them have fished a lot of oil and water together, and the food and grass in the captain's camp are insufficient, and the weapons are all rusty and dull."

"Not only the Ministry of War, but also the officials of the Ministry of Rites are also full of their own pockets, didn't those people just drink flowers and wine in Lanyue Pavilion a few days ago to recruit prostitutes, these people are simply moths, and sooner or later they will hollow out the Jiangshan Sheji in Zhaoling."

The more the two talked, the more angry they became, and one of them shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that so many soldiers of Zhenguo Gong and Zhenbei Army fought bloody battles at the border to protect their families and defend the country, but the officials of Hanjing were so greedy for pleasure, it is really unfair in the world......

This shop is not big, and it is not conspicuous on the street corner, and the two did not expect that the prince of Zhenguo in their mouth would come here to eat, and they had no scruples about talking.

Gu Hengzhou's movements were light, Shen Bai took out a few copper plates and put them on the table, and when he finished eating, the two of them quietly went out and walked towards Zhou's mansion, and along the way, they heard the people in the tea shops on the street talking about these things, and the breath around Gu Hengzhou's body was cold again.

In the end, he was going to visit, and he couldn't be empty-handed, so Gu Hengzhou went to the pharmacy to buy two hundred-year-old ginseng and some tonic medicines that invigorated qi and blood.

He is indeed generous, the pharmacy guy is whatever he says, and he doesn't bargain, Shen Bai can't see it, and he opens his mouth to help him cut the thirty taels to twenty taels.

Out of the pharmacy, Shen Bai couldn't help but chant vigorously: "Brother Gu, it's really not good for you to spend money like this, although these two old ginsengs are some years old, they can't be regarded as the treasure of the town store at all, he wants to sell ten taels is simply a sky-high asking price, and you also know what kind of goods Zhao Dingyuan's subordinates are, the pension of two hundred taels is too high, and the pension given by the imperial court to those wounded soldiers is only fifty taels." ”

Gu Hengzhou knew the price difference, his jaw was tight, Shen Bai was afraid that he would touch his sadness, and he softened his tone: "Brother Gu, I'm not saying that you shouldn't spend money, I just think that you can spend this money on yourself and Lord Guogong." ”

These are all exchanged for blood and sweat by the Zhenguo Gong, and there is absolutely no reason for them to save money and let others enjoy it.

Gu Hengzhou had never seen such a talkative and enthusiastic person as Shen Bai, as if he had treated himself badly, and it was even more uncomfortable than Shen Bai himself.

He paid for the lieutenant camp because of his father, so why is Shen Bai? Is it really for that ethereal liking?

Gu Hengzhou said: "Shen Bai, do you know that you are now very much like a woman in charge of the accounts in the inner house?" ”

Shen Bai said with a dry mouth, so he got such a sentence, and couldn't help but roll Gu Hengzhou's eyes: "Okay, even if the master eats radishes and doesn't worry about it, you won't care if you let people kill the master in the future!" ”

Shen Bai walked forward angrily after speaking, but her legs were not as long as Gu Hengzhou, Gu Hengzhou caught up in three or two steps, Shen Bai was depressed, and ran forward with all his strength, just ran a few steps, his shoulder was grabbed by Gu Hengzhou, and he said coldly: "There are injuries on the body, walk honestly!" ”

Hum! Even if you have a conscience, you still know how to care about the master.

Shen Bai was secretly happy, obediently slowed down his pace, that aura quickly dissipated, and said cheekily: "Gu Hengzhou, I really won't hurt you, can you listen to me and suffer less?" ”

This world is too sinister, don't always treat yourself badly, no one will remember your good except me.

Shen Bai's tone was soft, with pleading, although Gu Hengzhou still had doubts, he still responded in a low voice: "Okay." ”

Shen Bai was happy again, and eagerly talked to Gu Hengzhou, Gu Hengzhou's expression was bleak, Shen Bai said a few words, he would respond without being salty or light, Rao was like this, Shen Bai didn't feel cold at all, and kept chattering.

The sun was still scorching the earth, and the frost on Gu Hengzhou's body had also melted somewhat.

When they arrived at Zhou's mansion, the porter immediately warmly led the two in.

Zhou Deshan was injured but not idle, training Zhou Jue in his own backyard, but poor Zhou Jue's leg injury was not healed, so he was pulled by his father to the backyard to practice arm strength.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Shen Bai heard Zhou Jue's wail: "Mother, fortunately, you left my father early, if you see him tossing his son like this, you will definitely die of distress." ”

Zhou Jue and Shen Bai are walking the same way, and the small things that are big and big can be shouted at as if the father wants to kill his relatives and kill his parents and children.

There are no flowers planted in the backyard of the Zhou Mansion, only a large open space for dancing knives and guns, and a few wooden stakes are standing in the corners to practice boxing.

Zhou Jue sat on a chair in a strong suit, carrying a bucket of water in each hand, and the ground was wet, I don't know how long I had been practicing and how much water I had sprinkled.

Zhou Jue's eyes were sharp, and he saw Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai from a distance, and immediately put down the bucket and jumped up, and said happily: "Dad, Brother Gu has come to see you!" ”

Zhou Deshan turned around, and Gu Hengzhou bowed: "Uncle Zhou." ”

Zhou Deshan's brows were slightly relaxed, and he put down the ring ruler and took them to the living room, so that the mung bean soup that had been boiled a long time ago would be served to relieve the heat.

The mung bean soup was boiled thickly, with sugar, moderate sweetness, and soaked in well water, which was cold and refreshing, and Shen Bai drank a big bowl in one go.

Zhou Jue washed his face and followed in, didn't care about drinking the soup, and said excitedly: "Brother Gu, have you heard those rumors on the street?" Can you take this opportunity to investigate what Zhao Dingyuan's grandson, the people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites have done behind their backs? ”

Zhou Deshan scolded with a calm face: "What did you say?" That's how the master of Tai Academy taught you? ”

Zhou Jue's leg was still hurting, and he couldn't help but say: "Dad, what I said is the truth." ”

Zhou Deshan's eyes were horizontal: "Let me go out and continue to practice, and next time I will be held hostage casually, I will die outside and don't come back!" ”

As soon as this was mentioned, Zhou Jue was so weak that he couldn't speak, and smiled wryly: "Dad, I don't talk nonsense, just sit here and listen, don't let me go, okay?" ”

This incident made Zhou Deshan realize that these juniors had grown up, and he wanted Zhou Jue to learn more from Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai, and when he saw that Zhou Jue had stopped, he acquiesced to him staying, and then looked at Gu Hengzhou: "I heard that Xingyuan handed over the fold a few days ago, has Your Majesty talked to Xingyuan?" ”

Gu Hengzhou said: "Someone came to the palace today and summoned me and Shen Bai to enter the palace together. ”

Zhou Jue raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "I'm also injured, why did Your Majesty only summon you and not me?" ”

Zhou Deshan asked unceremoniously: "What are you, Your Majesty has to summon you?" ”

Zhou Jue puffed out his cheeks and stopped talking, Gu Hengzhou continued: "Your Majesty said that Zhao Dingyuan will be dismissed, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War will be demoted by one level. ”

Gu Hengzhou only said Zhao Heng's decision, and Zhou Deshan immediately understood when he heard it, and his face was solemn: "Your Majesty means that this case is over here?" ”

Gu Hengzhou nodded: "Yes." ”

The atmosphere condensed for a moment, Zhou Jue couldn't hold back, and shouted: "Why does it end here?" There is a lot of rumor outside, and the people in Hanjing all know that there is a problem with the people in the military department and the ritual department, and if they investigate deeply, they will definitely not be able to escape, and now the most serious thing will be dismissed, so are we not injured in vain? ”

Shen Baimei drank the mung bean soup, the whole person became comfortable, raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "Haven't you heard of a sentence that says that when the water is clear, there is no fish?" ”

Zhou Jue looked at Shen Bai: "Little white face, what do you mean?" ”

Shen Bai smiled with his eyebrows, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and his eyes were as cold as the frost of early winter: "The six departments are interconnected, and there are three princes above the six departments, if it weren't for the fact that they all turned a blind eye up and down, and acquiesced to this way of doing things, Zhao Dingyuan would not dare to be arrogant to such an extent." ”

Zhou Jue has not yet entered the office, and what he learned in Tai Academy is the righteousness of helping the world and saving the common people, and he has never been in contact with the dark side of the court, and his eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this: "You mean, even the three princes are bribing and taking bribes?" ”

Shen Bai didn't answer this question directly, and instead said: "On the second day of the case, Brother Gu's fold was handed to the emperor, but His Majesty did not summon us for a long time, and Dali Temple did not investigate the matter. ”

Zhou Jue was not a fool, his mind spun around quickly, and he pointed at Shen Bai and asked, "You spread rumors to force Your Majesty to summon you?" ”

Shen Bai shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent: "Young Master Zhou, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, I have been recuperating in the Guogong Mansion, how could those rumors be spread by me?" ”

"Jue'er, Hugh is talking nonsense!"

Zhou Deshan scolded, Zhou Jue withdrew his hand and sat down, but he still looked at Shen Bai inquiringly, no matter how he thought about it, he still felt that Shen Bai was making trouble behind his back.

Shen Bai looked at him, and asked his subordinates to help him fill a bowl of soup.

Zhou Deshan had already seen Shen Bai's skills in the lieutenant camp, so he didn't delve into this matter, looked at Gu Hengzhou and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Gu Hengzhou's eyes were cold, cold as frost: "Your Majesty has made a decision, and you should follow it as a courtier, and Your Majesty promised me today that you will protect the captain's camp in the future." ”

Gu Hengzhou was young in the end, Zhou Deshan was originally worried that he would be unwilling to do something impulsively, but he was relieved when he said this: "Your Majesty has your own reason for doing this, you can figure it out." ”

Gu Hengzhou's jaw was in response, Zhou Jue stared at Shen Bai for a long time, and suddenly caught a key piece of information, and couldn't help frowning: "Little white face, you just said that you have been recuperating in the Guogong Mansion all along?" ”

Shen Bai finished drinking another bowl of soup, licked his lips unsatisfied, and looked proud: "That's right, Brother Gu said that the culprit behind the scenes has not been caught yet, and I am afraid that someone will poison me again, so let me live in the Guogong Mansion so that he can protect me." ”

Shen Bai said it as a matter of course, and Zhou Jue looked at Gu Hengzhou sourly: "Brother Gu, my leg is also injured, why don't you worry that I will also be poisoned?" ”

Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips, and Shen Bai replied first: "Of course, it's because my status in Brother Gu's heart is more important than yours!" ”

Zhou Jue: "......"

Zhou Deshan: "......"

Say that again, little bunny!
