After a few people became more and more familiar, Luo Qinghe tasted Xi Chen's personality.

Although this person put down his dignity and begged on the painting boat that day, it was completely because of his desire to save his son. At present, although Xi Chen has won the first place in the examination and has become the first generation of the famous Wenyuan, he is still not arrogant, although he is born in a noble family, he is still modest and gentle, and he is very polite and humble in his actions.

And this Mrs. Xi is also a young lady from a scholarly family, and her manners are generous and elegant, and she talks about elegant things with poetry and songs.

Luo Qinghe also thought about it, knowing that he was not the character of Song Feng Yinyue, so when the Xi family and his wife talked to Fang Shaoze, they were very intimate and led Cheng'er out to play, or take care of housework.

But her behavior did not make the Xi family and his wife look down on her, but praised this girl for her thoughtfulness and generosity.

At this time, the three people in the house were chatting happily, looking at the somewhat empty attic, Xi Chen also cared about family affairs for the first time: "Now that autumn has just begun, I feel that your building is a little cold, if it is winter, I am afraid that it will be biting cold!" And if you burn charcoal pots in such a large place, I'm afraid it's far from enough, otherwise you can ask a craftsman to build a 'temperature control room'! ”

The so-called temperature adjustment room is to use yellow mud and peppercorns to smear together with the outside of the house for keeping warm and cold in winter.

Seeing that Xi Chen was worried about himself, Fang Shaoze hurriedly said: "I'm tired of Brother Xi Chen, in fact, we have also planned to repair the temperature adjustment room, but this matter is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly, and this attic is only temporarily living in it, and it needs to be renovated in the future, so it is not suitable for repairing the temperature adjustment room at the moment." However, Miss Luo drew a sketch that day, saying that she was going to build a copper stove, and at the same time she could shoot the smoke outside the house through the special copper pipes, and now she has let the coppersmith do it, if we use it really useful, I will also give you one, and the smoke of the charcoal basin in the province will choke Cheng'er. ”

When Mrs. Xi heard this, she smiled movingly: "It's hard for you to be so careful, and you still think that our Cheng'er will not be choked!" Then when this copper furnace is ready, we will lead Cheng'er to try, if it is useful, then I will give you money, and I will trouble you to help me make a set. ”

Fang Shaoze excused himself again and again: "Brother and sister-in-law, don't want to see each other, you two have brought a lot of gifts every time you have come so many times, we should also give them back!" ”

Xi Chen smiled and said, "How is that?" Our things are all taken directly from the family treasury, which is like yours, which is hard-earned hard-earned money! I originally wanted to repair the temperature adjustment room for you, but since you already have a plan, then I will replace it with hot coals! When the winter is in the middle of the house, we will also distribute carbon fires to our courtyard as usual, and when the time comes, I will order all the people to come to you! ”

"If you give it all to us, how will your family survive the winter!"

Mrs. Xi also appreciated her husband's plan, nodded and said, "My family still has a lot of charcoal left over from previous years, which is more than enough to burn for two winters!" The coals are also placed in our house, so it's better to pull them over, and save you money to buy them! And we can also use this excuse to come to your house to eat! ”

Seeing that the two of them were so gracious, Fang Shaoze seemed a little ignorant of what to do if he refused, so he hurriedly thanked him.

Among all the talents who participated in the exam, the most promising one was Xi Chen. Not long after he was left by the emperor's side, he got a "general matter" from the seven-rank official position, and he was professional and gave people a hand.

But although this official position is not big, Xi Chen's hand is down-to-earth, but he is a big pilgrimage! This weekday errand is in the imperial study, drafting edicts for the saint, participating in political affairs, it can be said that in the whole world, in addition to the imperial food chief eunuch Jin Peng, only Xi Chen is the closest to the saint, and it is easiest to investigate the sacred heart.

And since ancient times, the people who can be personally promoted to this position by the emperor are also talents that the emperor should focus on teaching and cultivating, so although Xi Chen only has the treatment of a seven-rank official, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all respectful when they see him.

However, Xi Chen is very knowledgeable about current affairs, after all, he is a newcomer, if he says more and does more, it will inevitably be negligent, thinking that in order to protect himself, he chose the same strategy as Fang Shaoze in Taixue, talk less and listen more, and study carefully.

"How are you doing in Taixue lately?"

When Fang Shaoze heard this, he became serious, and carefully relayed to Xi Chen what he had seen and heard in Taixue.

Of course, Fang Shaoze is not talking about eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling and other things that the children of the nobles care about every day, but about the family battles that he has refined and analyzed on weekdays, and the major events of the previous dynasty.

However, at first, Fang Shaoze didn't know that watching those people chatting and making trouble could also analyze the cattiness, but later when he talked about his distress with Xi Chen, he got his advice.

Although those gentlemen in Taixue are not in shape in the day, they can be deduced from their dress and status, and from their attitudes towards other children, they can deduce the relationship between the families behind them... Although Fang Shaoze had never played with them, he had observed it for several days, but he also knew a lot of "important information".

The two fledgling young people are supporting each other and making progress together.

Although Mrs. Xi is also very intelligent, in the end, it is a topic between men, so when the two of them talk, they only listen carefully, and occasionally help analyze one or two.

Although this era is a bit almost perverted and strict about "male protagonist and female protagonist inside", Mrs. Xi is not like ordinary ladies who only know the shortcomings of the parents and the kang tips of the pots, but helps Xi Chen to constantly make friends with the backyard family members of various mansions.

And just as the house was chatting, Luo Qinghe was also busy in the courtyard. She has never cared much about the state affairs and family affairs, and she didn't want to sit in the room bored and listen to those people talk about the book of heaven, so she came out generously to make a box of peanut pancakes for Cheng'er first, and then led a child and a wolf to the backyard to watch the horses.

Although everyone thought that the courtyard worth 5,000 taels was extremely worthless, Dust Shadow didn't think so at all. In the past, the small courtyard of Fangfu was closed all day, and the dust shadow couldn't breathe, but now he finally moved to this place where he couldn't see the courtyard wall, and the dust shadow was like a fish that was put back into the water, endlessly spreading joy.

Compared with the lively and active dust shadow, Fang Shaoze's silver horse is much more obedient and gentle.

Luo Qinghe actually thought about letting Dust Shadow take the place of Yinjun's work, pulling the carriage and pulling the stone mill for them, but before the reins were put on Dust Shadow, I saw that it was so angry that it kept stumbling, and it snorted very irritably, and what was even more excessive was that when Luo Qinghe tried to force it to pull the cart, Dust Shadow was so angry that he didn't get a drop of water for three days, so scared that Luo Qinghe could only give up and go to this ancestor to pursue freedom.

But fortunately, with Dust Shadow, when he endlessly sprinkled trouble in the courtyard all day long, he actually brought a lot of life to the originally lifeless courtyard, and the people of Fangfu, who were originally a little afraid of this murderous mansion, also made Dust Shadow gradually calm down.

When leading the tired Cheng'er back to the house, the people in the house had already finished the afternoon's family and country affairs, and Xi Chen was squeezing in front of the table with Fang Shaoze to prepare a birthday gift for Hanguangzong.

Looking carefully at the Five Holy Bodhisattvas in front of him, Luo Qinghe actually felt that the white-clothed Bodhisattva on the far left was a little like his own face.

Looking at Luo Qinghe's puzzled look, Xi Chen said with a smile: "When I painted this Bodhisattva, I remembered the appearance of you saving my son that day, so I copied it according to the white handkerchief I drew that day, if you think it is not suitable, we can draw another one!" ”

"Suitable!" Luo Qinghe said very generously: "It stands to reason that I have to thank you for making me a bodhisattva!" ”

As he spoke, Luo Qinghe pointed to Guanyin in the center and said, "I don't think the face of this Guanyin is like what I see in the temple on weekdays, could it be that this is also someone else's face?" ”

Xi Chen was a little surprised by Luo Qinghe's eyesight, but Fang Shaoze explained in a familiar way: "The Guanyin in the center is the Duchess of Zhongyong, and the boy who Guanyin is sitting on is the Guangzong!" But Brother Xi Chen is really powerful, just with a few words of description by me and my brother and sister-in-law, we can draw this mother and son so realistically! ”

But Xi Chen modestly joked: "I'm just trying my best, if the painting doesn't look like it makes Duchess Zhongyong angry, Brother Shaoze will have to be beaten for me!" ”

When Luo Qinghe heard this, he smiled and said: "Oh, the left and right are a thought for the young master of Guangzong, you just remember to draw the Duchess Zhongyong into it, it is sincere enough!" After all, the child's birthday is also the mother's Good Friday, and this congratulatory gift can be regarded as a heartfelt gift to the Duchess of Zhongyong! ”

"Suffering? What do you mean? ”

Seeing that they didn't know this, Luo Qinghe was a little surprised: "Don't you know? In this world, what mother did not risk her life and endure all the hardships to bring her child to the world, and she should also celebrate the Duchess Zhongyong at this birthday banquet! ”

Mrs. Xi is from the end, and when she heard this, she nodded in agreement: "That's right, when I gave birth, I was also in pain for three days before giving birth to my child, but I didn't suffer less!" ”

Xi Chen is the champion of the dynasty! Such a smart and transparent person instantly heard the meaning of his wife's words, and hurriedly said attentively: "Madam, we will also celebrate you on Cheng'er's birthday in the future!" ”

When Mrs. Xi heard this, she sneered and said, "Then don't fool Cheng'er, buy a bamboo dragonfly and come back to fool me!" ”

Hanguangzong's birthday is September 18.

In the end, it is the only son-in-law of the Duke of Zhongyong, and the Mansion of the Duke of Zhongyong has been preparing a birthday banquet for this young master Dumiao with great fanfare since the beginning of September, but he didn't think that this Han Dumiao got up early in the morning and just asked the elders to say goodbye, so he ran out of the house under the pretext that there was something to do, and promised that he would definitely go home before the birthday banquet started in the evening.

But the people of the Zhongyong Mansion waited from early morning to dark, until the time of closing the city gate, and waited until the time of closing the city gate, when they were full of anxiety, but they saw a family Ding hurriedly came back and said: "Master, the young master said that he has a meeting in the town of Guangling, and he can't come back now, so don't wait for him to start the banquet first!" ”

"What a seat!" Zhongyong Gong was originally a first-class general under Murong Wei, who had been tempered on the battlefield for many years, but now when he heard this, he was so angry that he squeezed the teacup in his hand: "What kind of entertainment can he have for this stinky boy!" Still pretending to be sensible and sending someone back to pass the word? It's really a trick! Dare to leave the elderly guests in the courtyard and go out to drink by yourself! Go, bring my horse, I'm going to get this rebel back myself, and then teach his ignorant bastard kids a lesson! ”

In the courtyard of Qinmoss Street, someone suddenly felt that his ears were hot, and it seemed that someone was scolding him behind his back!
