Chapter 18 Completion of Practice
"Your Majesty, Li Zhi is asking to see you outside the palace" "Xuan" A tall man with handsome eyebrows and eyes strode in.
"Your Majesty" Jing Yu put down the file and waved his hand and said, "Get up, come and see this"
Li Zhi got up and took it and flipped it over: "This is the political record of the Duke of Luoyang, is the emperor planning to take over?" "Yes, although my younger brother is a little ambitious, but there are also merits, I promoted these decrees when I was in Qizhou, and they can be regarded as quite effective" "What step does the emperor plan to start with?"
Jing Yu stood up and took the file: "Now any movement can't escape the eyes and ears of the national teacher, let alone the order, now we have to do and do it naturally" "The Holy Succession to the Throne, Amnesty to the World, Rebuild the Old Scriptures, and Remember the Emperor"
Jing Yu laughed and patted Li Zhi on the shoulder: "You are the old man I brought out from Qizhou, the most powerful, I will rest assured if I hand it over to you" said and smiled bitterly: "Chang Daoist thieves are difficult to prevent, the national teacher put that Lin Chen next to my younger brother, but he hid it quietly"
"Your Majesty" "That's it" Jing Yu sighed and waved his hand: "You know it and start to do it, by the way, how is the national teacher in Liguang Temple recently" "Eat fast and worship Buddha as usual, it will take a few days to return to the palace when the message comes"
Jing Yu flicked the flowers and leaves, and said casually: "Huai Wangfu has been the same as always? "Yes" "Throw unto him those things which are insignificant, lest the branches and leaves be unpruned for a long time, and some of the branches and buds of the side shall be separated"
In the early morning, the spring water flows slowly in the faint light, dancing with layers of soft light, lining a clear white figure in the room, as quiet as a calligraphy and painting.
Jing Rong swept the quiet and surprisingly quiet figure on the side, and paused slightly: "How can you have leisure today" It seemed that he finally heard the voice, and because of the last impulsive act, Jing Sheng was a little embarrassed and scratched his head and said: "Why don't you see your little tail"
"In Yu Lao's Courtyard" "Yu Lao" Jing Sheng carefully recalled "Why don't I remember that Yu Lao still has the skill of appreciating tea" Jing Rong put away the written paper scroll, glanced at Jing Sheng, and said casually: "It's enough to taste tea" Jing Sheng sneered: "Then aren't you more suitable"
After that, he looked at the mountains of copywriting on the table, and his voice joked: "But right now, the emperor is busy with the school journal and history, and the collection of books, and he can't be busy with you" "You are idle" "No, I'm very busy, the emperor has recently asked me to settle a family affair, and I'm trying to hide it"
Jing Rong stopped his hand and looked at him with interest: "I heard that the daughter of the Xu family is gentle and demure" "Hmph, no matter how good it is, it's just a little spy, if my brother likes it, I don't mind giving it up"
As he spoke, he leaned over the desk, stared at Jing Rong and said jokingly: "However, I'm curious, the other brothers have already started a family, but the elder brother is still cumin all these years, why?" Jing Rong took the book under Jing Sheng's elbow and glanced at him: "When you become a family, you might as well come and ask me again"
Jing Sheng pursed the corners of his mouth and snorted lightly: "My brother is in a posture of being a person who has come over" "What are you doing here" "It's nothing, hide from my tricky business, by the way, let's take a look at my brother's troubles balance balance" As he spoke, he got up and lay on his side in the sleeping chair, and then asked: "However, how did the emperor suddenly think of starting to rebuild the history books" "Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang"
"But since my brother can see through it at a glance, how can the prince not know" Jing Rong got up and put down the transcribed scroll, turned around and asked Xiang Jingsheng: "Even if you see through it, what excuse should you find to stop this matter that benefits the country and the people?" Jing Sheng's eyes flashed, and he turned over: "Your Majesty, this is a big net of virtual and real" "Yes" Jing Rong looked at the clear spring flowing slowly outside the door, his eyes were far away, but he was afraid that this net would not be easy to collect.
The sky is slowly soaked in the afterglow of the setting sun, on both sides of the street, the shops are gradually lit up candles, Jing Sheng threw off the guards, walked alone on the long street, remembering that the day before yesterday the emperor announced that he entered the palace again, saying that he was about discussing relatives, and his heart couldn't help but be bored.
I found a restaurant at random, only to find that it was overcrowded when I entered the door, frowning and just wanted to leave, the little two in the corner of the cabinet hurriedly stepped forward: "Nobleman, please sit in the private room on the second floor" Sitting on the seat separated by a few screens, Jing Sheng smiled bitterly, this little two will bluff people, forget it, how many pictures are quiet.
I don't know if it's this half pot of sake, but there is some chaos in my mind. Jing Sheng put the cup and leaned against the window, looking at the lights outside, he was inexplicably a little relieved.
Suddenly, the sound of wheels sounded from afar, and a surprised voice at the adjacent table broke this short peace of mind, "Isn't that the carriage of the ladies of the Xu Mansion?" "Yes, this Xu Mansion has always had very strict government rules, why are you still letting the ladies go out so late today" Jing Sheng frowned, Xu Mansion, he got up and walked a few steps over the screen to the back window, looking at the words on the lantern that swayed with the carriage, the corners of his eyebrows ached.
The carriage stopped in front of the Xu Mansion, and a slender figure slowly stepped down from the car, and the dark wind at night brought up the corner of the plain clothes, and the air was suddenly kneaded with bursts of gardenia.
"Miss" The maid looked at the girl's soft eyebrows in the bronze mirror, and read softly: "Miss really wants to marry the six princes" Xu Juan glanced at the figure who was grooming her in the bronze mirror, reached out and took off the earrings, handed them to the person behind her, and said softly, "Take the book, lose it" "Don't do it, Miss, this is an official reward"
Xu Juan looked at Yishu who was jumping behind him, and said in a soft voice, "Yes", took off the last hairpin and put it in the box, got up and walked to the bed, "Then put it back where it should be."
In spring and March, the heaviness of the winter has faded, and even the wind is charming, "Sister Nian Rong, the steward said that this fragrance can't be added, and it will take a few days" "Sister Nian Rong, where to put this flower" "Sister Nian Rong......"
Nian Rong put down the notebook in her hand and sighed deeply, this good spring scenery has nothing to do with her, since Su Qinghui entered Xu Lao's courtyard and studied in retreat for more than a month, these chores have been all handed over to her.
She stretched out her hand and patted her head, cheered up and took the drawing, handed it to the maidservant beside her, and ordered, "First follow the drawing." As he spoke, he turned to another little maid at the bottom of the steps, "Is it the incense you go to get on weekdays?" "No, it's not, Sister Ah Shui is sick, so I'll replace her"
"Since you are sick, why don't you report sick leave" Nian Rong's eyes swept the cramped appearance of the servant girl, and sighed in her heart, the steward was used to recognizing people, and he didn't care about people, thinking of calling a servant girl who was in charge of the side branch, and instructed: "Ke Luo, you go and get it first." ”
As he spoke, he raised his voice and faced everyone, and his tone became stern: "The rules of this mansion are set by His Royal Highness himself, as long as you do things in this mansion, everyone must abide by them, you have done things for others today, and she can't replace you if anything goes wrong." Do you remember?" "Yes, follow my sister's teachings"
When everyone dispersed, Nian Rong saw Su Qinghui leaning by the door, her eyes lit up, and her mouth burst into layers of smiles.
After entering the house, Nian Rong took off the strength just now, and complained like a child: "Why did my sister come back" Su Qinghui unwrapped the package and smiled, "Why did you leave the front of the person, but it looks like a child" Nian Rong blushed slightly and was silent, Su Qinghui took out a chain and pointed at the person next to the bed: "Come here, reach out"
Nian Rong raised her hand and looked at it carefully, with joy in her eyes that couldn't be hidden, "It's so beautiful, thank you, sister," said as she flicked the small round ball on it, and wondered: "What is this" "Don't you always shout about the cold world, oh, I will make a life-sustaining pill for you" Nian Rong snorted lightly and sat next to Su Qinghui: "Sister teased me again" "By the way, how is the courtyard these days"
Nian Rong lifted the pot and refilled her with tea and said, "The courtyard is as usual, all the trivial things that you dealt with when you were there, but my sister came back by coincidence, just in time for the excitement of the meeting." ”
She took a sip of tea and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Youhui? "En" Nianrong casually picked up a nut and threw it into her mouth: "Convention, the emperor set it to consolidate the relationship with the various tribes of the grassland. "So it's a long way away"
"Yes" Nian Rong leaned over and attached it to Su Qinghui's ear, and said with a mysterious smile: "I heard that the grassland girl is beautiful and straightforward, maybe we will have more princesses when we come back," a soft exhalation, Nian Rong straightened up and rubbed her head aggrievedly and muttered: "I'm telling the truth."
"Still talking nonsense" Nian Rong saw Su Qinghui's hand that he was about to raise again, and hurriedly waved his hand and begged for mercy. When he was talking about the trouble, a sudden call came from outside the door calling "Crispy girl"
Seeing the visitor, Su Qinghui smiled softly, "Sister Yuandai, I haven't seen you for a long time" "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, but now, we are not allowed to reminisce about the past, Your Highness calls you" "Yes, let me change my clothes and pass, hard sister"
Sending people away, I turned around and saw Nian Rong standing in the corner, looking at her incomprehensibly, Su Qinghui ignored her and walked to the head of the bed, Nian Rong couldn't help but come forward coldly: "Your Highness really can't leave my sister, enter the courtyard with the front foot, and come with the back foot" "I can't leave you when I look at this courtyard" Su Qinghui said and tied his coat, patted Nian Rong's shoulder, and raised his chin lightly: "Go to work"
"Your Highness" Jing Rong raised his head when he heard this, he was slightly stunned, Su Qinghui seemed to realize something, and reached out awkwardly to touch his long hair, "I just came back from the old garden, and I haven't had time yet" "Defenseless" said and handed her a tart of paper, "The day after tomorrow, you go back and prepare to prepare, write down the pictures on this paper one by one" "Yes" Su Qinghui bowed down and took it, the corner of his eyes swept the portrait on the paper, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Out of the garden gate, Yuan Dai was still waiting at the door, talking and laughing, Yuan Dai glanced sideways at Su Qinghui's long hair: "Your other method is novel" Su Qinghui stretched out his hand and touched it and smiled softly, "It was taught to me by a grandmother, but it is more tightly lined than the usual technique." ”
Yuan Dai had heard about her origin before, but she just answered and didn't ask any more, "By the way, if there is anything missing in the day after tomorrow, someone will come and say, this trip will take some days, and you still have to be prepared." "Yes, my sister is more thoughtful, I'll prepare it when I go back, if there is anything I don't understand, I'll ask my sister again." Yuan Dai looked at her and smiled at her reply: "I don't see you in January, but I don't get used to your deferential appearance."
Su Qinghui was slightly stunned, and smiled with relief: "After staying in Yu Lao's Courtyard for a long time, the word rules will naturally be engraved on my body." Yuan Dai opened her mouth to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, there was only a casual echo left, and after parting, she looked at Su Qinghui's alienated back and sighed secretly.
