Yongning Palace.

"Wan An has seen Uncle Wang, Lord He, get up, how can you have time to come to Yongning Palace today?" Wan An only omitted Guo Li.

King Ning was cunning and cunning, and Lord He thought that Wan An didn't know Guo Li, so he introduced: "Princess Wan An, this is the new Dali Temple Qing Guo Li. ”

Guo Li was still kneeling on the ground without the princess's exemption, although the palace was covered with a carpet from the Western Regions. Wan An intended this, Guo Li did not complain, who let himself be the marriage envoy.

"This is Lord Guo of Dali Temple, please hurry up. Wan An thought it was King Ning's entourage. ”

Are there any guards wearing purple robes and official jade belts?

Wan Anming was talking nonsense, and He Shilang reacted and didn't say more.

"Get up, tell me what kind of talented boy you have found for this princess?"

Guo Li got up and said, "Weichen is here to ask the princess, can you be interested in someone?" ”

"It's good for this princess to look at Lord Guo, I don't know if Lord Guo has a wife?" Wan An teased.

Ask yourself, there is still this princess in her heart, whether it is her figure, appearance, scheming, knowledge, temperament, elegance, intelligence, and cleverness, she has moved Guo Li. Now that King Ning and Old Man He were present, Wan An made such a joke, which embarrassed Guo Li.

"Princess, Weichen has already married a family."

Wan An finally let Guo Li go.

"Since my father chose a horse for Wan'an, I also ask Uncle Wang and the two adults to worry."

"What does the princess want, although Uncle Wang is in charge of it for you."

"But with Uncle Wang in charge, Wan An was born in the royal family, and he knows that he can't help himself in the marriage event." After finishing speaking, Wan An showed a pitiful look.

Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.

"Don't worry, no matter who you choose to be the colt, you have to agree with Wan'an. Uncle Wang is in charge of you this time. ”

Wan An burst into tears and laughed, thanking King Ning.

Finally coming out of Yongning Palace, Old Man He couldn't help but ask, "Lord Guo and the princess are old acquaintances?" ”

"By chance, I've met the princess a few times."

"This king heard that there was a big turmoil in the West Market a few months ago, and Lord Guo was still a lieutenant in the army at that time, and it was the princess who came to solve the difficulty." King Ning said slowly, and He Zhizhang suddenly realized.

"Where are you going now?" Guo Li asked.

"Follow the map."

He Zhizhang took out a list from his arms, which listed a list of young talents of the princes, ministers, and nobles of the families in Beijing, and there were more than thirty people.

……

The wind and grass in the middle of the court could not hide from the scholars and people of Chang'an City, and the news of choosing a horse for Wan'an spread far away like wings.

"The princess has chosen a concubine, I don't know which talented young man has become a concubine this time."

"How can a princess choose a colt and choose the people? I'm afraid that another teenager will be unlucky. ”

"I heard that Princess Wan'an, who is known as the most beautiful princess, can marry Princess Wan'an and go home, and I am very happy in life."

"Don't tremble, you don't have the heart or the guts. I really let you see the princess, but I'm afraid that you will never get up again when you kneel on the ground. ”

"Why is it so moving on the road, all of them are going to the suburbs? It's not the right time to go out early. ”

"These are all Gongzi brothers, who rushed out of the city to flee."

It was the green season, and the talented sons of the princes and nobles in the capital left the city surrounded by slaves. The south gate of Chang'an City suddenly poured out of many young men out of the city, and the entourage followed, and the people thought that something big had happened in the city, and they inquired to know that it was Princess Wan'an who chose the horse.

"Mother, the child is just going to go on a trip, what are you doing with so much luggage and preparing so many entanglements?"

"Son, you are stupid, haven't you heard that the princess chooses a colt? Go to the house of my uncle's son in the countryside to hide for a while. When will you come back, you will come back.

"The princess chooses a colt? I heard that Princess Wan'an is extremely beautiful and stunning in the world. ”

"Son, you are so stupid, you are beautiful and can be eaten, you married a princess, and you will live under the roof of someone else's house for the rest of your life."

Chapter 72

Zhongshu Lingfu.

Before the three adults arrived at Zhang Shuo's house, someone had already reported the news.

"Butler, the three adults are coming up to the house."

"What's the panic, the fourth prince has already gone out of the city. When the meeting comes, pay attention to etiquette and don't talk too much. ”

King Ning came in person, and the middle door of the mansion, which had been closed for many years, was opened, and Zhang said that he stood at the door and saw King Ning chatting with Guo Li and He Zhizhang from afar. After King Ning approached and Zhang said that after the salute, everyone approached the middle hall. Tea has already been prepared, and when the three of them are seated, the tea is served.

"Why does King Ning have time to go to the Burrow today?"

"Zhongshu Ling Qian has conceded, and this king's palace is not much bigger than Prime Minister Zhang Cheng."

"The two adults went to the mansion with the prince, is there something wrong?" Zhang said that he was confused.

"Prime Minister Zhang, the emperor ordered the officials and the prince to choose a horse for Princess Wan'an, I heard that Prince Ling is at the age of marriage, so I came to take a look." Guo Liming knew that the other party was pretending to be confused, and he had to explain seriously.

"The dogs are all married, I'm afraid the adults will run empty."

"Prime Minister, the fourth son of your mansion has not yet married." Old man He reminded.

Nonsense, there are parents in the world who don't know if their son is married, and they make it clear that they don't want to marry the emperor.

"Look at the old man's memory, it's just that the dog has always been vulgar, if he can be a concubine, let the princess discipline and discipline well. Butler, please invite the fourth son to come to the middle hall.? ”

"Master, the fourth son went out in the morning."

"Outing? Where to go? It's time to come back when the time comes, so you might as well drink tea and sit down for a while. ”

"Master, the son confessed that he went to Hezhou, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in ten days and half a month."

King Ning was very well-cultivated, only smiling and not speaking. Old man He and Guo Li were so angry in their hearts, who went to the border to go to the border? Hezhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an City.

"Lord Wang, two adults, what do you see?"

What else can I do, pull people away.

"Obviously, he hid out, what else did he say, who stepped into the border of Tibet?" Old man He's beard trembled.

"Don't be impatient, there is not only one Zhang Gongzi in the capital." King Ning has always had a leisurely bearing.

The adults of the capital gathered together, and most of them were in the area north of Xingqing Palace, east of the Imperial City, and south of Daming Palace.

It didn't take long to arrive in front of Li Yanyun's house, the secretary of the Criminal Department. The attendant stepped forward to call the door, and the housekeeper of the Li Mansion went out. "King Ning, Lord Guo of Dali Temple, Lord Lang He of the Ministry of Rites are here to visit, and I will quickly inform your family to go out." After a while, Li Yanyun went out to greet him.

"I've seen the prince, Lord Guo He, please inside."

After taking his seat, Li Shangshu asked: "The prince is a rare guest, it just so happens that there is good tea from Jiangnan hidden in the house, the housekeeper, take out the Wuyi Mountain rock tea to make tea for the prince and the two adults." ”

Looking at this posture, another one pretended to be confused.

"Li Shangshu, the emperor ordered the officials and the prince to choose a horse for Princess Wan'an, and I heard that Prince Ling is at the age of marriage to come to see him." Guo Li's expressionless eyes read the line. In the face of these old fritters, Guo Li had no choice.

"Unfortunately, two days ago, the dog heard that the uncle and grandfather of the son of the sister of the uncle of Taiyuan Mansion passed away, and the old man couldn't leave, so he had to send the dog to mourn, and it was estimated that he should come back in the near future."

King Ning was silent, Lord He got up to say goodbye, and Guo Li followed suit.

I really feel sorry for Princess Wan'an, the dignified princess of the Tang Dynasty, the golden branches and jade leaves, let these sons and brothers go down the mountain like tigers. If these things are known by Wan An, I really don't know what the consequences will be.

happened to walk in front of Chen Jiachong's mansion, King Ning was about to call the guards to call the door, suddenly the door creaked open from the inside, the first person was wearing a purple robe and a jade belt around his waist, and Chen Jiachong personally greeted him when the right servant of Shangshu Province shot him.

"When King Ning came to the palace, it was a sin that the lower officials couldn't greet him. Two adults, please. ”

King Ning was in front, and the two adults followed and sat down in the living room of the front hall.

"I heard that the emperor appointed the prince and the two adults to choose a horse for Princess Wan'an? Is there such a thing? ”

The two families pretended to be deaf and dumb, and finally met a warm-hearted person. He Zhizhang couldn't wait for "I want to compose a poem in this situation" to soothe the hurt in his heart, and without Guo Li reciting the lines, Lord He hurriedly said: "As the prime minister said, the emperor ordered the prince and the lower officials to recruit horses for Princess Wan'an." ”

"Dog Chen Shuxiong, although he is not successful, he has also read poetry books for a few years, he is twenty-eight years old, and he has not yet been married, I don't know what Lord He thinks?"

Old man He hurriedly said, "Please also invite Chen Gongzi to come out and see him." ”

"Dad, my son has been waiting here for a long time." Chen Shuxiong flashed in.

Chen Jiachong was about to tell the housekeeper to call Chen Shuxiong, but he didn't expect his son to walk in, and he was a little caught off guard.

"Ahem...... Haven't you seen the prince and the two adults? ”

"Xiaomin knocked to see the prince, and met Lord He and Lord Guo." When Chen Shuxiong saw Guo Li, he forgot about the entanglement with Guo Li. It must be the top of the **, and I can't care about regenerating moths.

Old man He saw that Chen Gongzi was extraordinary, and he was talented, and nodded: "Chen Gongzi is eligible." ”

No matter how Guo Li gave Old Man He a look, it was too late, and the words had already been withdrawn from the mouth.

Chen Jia Chongle smiled and said, "Do you still have to take the school exam?" ”

"Today is just looking at people, and those who are not missing arms or legs can be selected. In the end, the young man became a colt, and Wan An had to nod and agree. This king has promised Wan'an, and everything is up to Wan'an. "King Ning is worthy of being a prince, and a few words are all on point.

"It's okay, the lower officials have long wanted to marry the emperor, but the dog is not angry, and he has no face to propose to the emperor."

Why don't you have a face?

Chen Shuxiong proposed to the third lady of the Fan Yang Lu family before, and after hitting a wall, he proposed to the Jingzhao royal family, especially the second time, which caused a lot of trouble. Failed to courtship twice, and now this Chen Gongzi is notorious, presumably the women of the family who know the inside story will not marry this son.

Perhaps because of the setbacks suffered in the Zhongshu Ling Mansion and the Monk Book Mansion, Old Man He actually felt that Chen Gongzi was a talent. This bad old man is very bad, Chen Gongzi doesn't know that he has such a big reputation in the capital?

Guo Li was also speechless.

King Ning got up and was about to leave, and Chen Jiachong instructed the housekeeper to prepare three big gifts. King Ning was not polite and asked his subordinates to accept it. Old man He accepted it with a clear conscience, but Guo Li hesitated and still couldn't refuse.

"Send someone door-to-door tomorrow to inform you and let you go and report. It's not a matter of visiting one by one. Guo Li was a little overwhelmed. It's just running errands, I can't stand this anger. The two families regarded the princess as a tiger and hid down the mountain, but only one was there, and it was notorious.

"The son of the Chen family is okay, Yushu Linfeng looks like a human."

"Lord He, who in Chang'an City doesn't know the third son of the Chen family now? Don't follow suit. For the sake of this Lord He, who is a good man, Guo Li has the heart to remind.

"How can this be? I knew that the old man would not accept the gift if he said anything just now. ”

"Lord Chen wants to give a gift, how can he refuse? Why don't you take it? King Ning said leisurely.

"What about tomorrow?" Old man He asked.

"Three divisions in the same house."

With yesterday's lesson, King Ning, Guo Li, and Old Man He sat in the hall of the Ministry of Rites. There was originally only one table in the lobby, but two tables were brought from elsewhere to put together. King Ning sat in the middle, Guo Li sat on the left, and Old Man He sat on the right of King Ning.

I had already sent people door-to-door to inform the people on the list, but I didn't expect that by noon, only six children had come. The reasons for the rest of the people's children not to be there are all kinds of strange things, what kind of travel, what kind of escape into the Taoist temple

Guo Li thought that the men in the Tang Dynasty were as precocious as Li Guangbi and the servant Gu Huaien, and they looked at the six children. If such a "young talent" is seen by Wan An, he will not die of laughter.

King Ning was holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn", calmly holding the book in one hand, quite a bit of Guan Yu's taste. Old man He waited honestly at first, and after a while, he took a stack of official documents and worked on the spot in the lobby. Is it the first to get the moon near the water? Guo Li is bored, I wanted to ask Old Man He, did you make your "Returning to the Hometown Puppet Book"?

"When I left home and went back, my hometown voice has not changed, and my sideburns have declined. When the children don't know each other, they smile and ask where the guests are from."

The poems from elementary school are still fresh in my memory.

Listening to Old Man He's accent, it seems that he is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and from Chang'an to Zhejiang, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back in nearly a month.

"I have heard for a long time that Lord Guo's wild grass is comparable to Zhang Xu, I wonder if it has opened the eyes of this king?" King Ning put down "Spring and Autumn".

People in the world often say that this King Ning has no intention of political affairs, and takes the initiative to let the crown prince and Li Longji. After two days of observation, this King Ning is really not ordinary. Not only are the secrets of the court clear, but even King Ning has heard of the affairs of the countryside. This King Ning must have his own news channels, otherwise how could he even know the cursive script he wrote in the Wang family.

Old man He usually likes calligraphy, and when he heard the prince say that Guo Li cursive is a must, he immediately brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Dare to love this old man on weekdays when he has nothing to do and is free to practice calligraphy in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, and the things he holds are extraordinary: the pen of Huzhou, the ink of Huizhou, the paper of Xuanzhou, and the Shi Yan of Shouzhou. The prince said that Guo Li was not good to refuse, and remembered the ancient poems that he remembered when he was with Wan An that day, maybe these two days for Wan An to choose a horse sullen and stuffy in his heart, asking what is the love in the world, directly teaching people to live and die, promising fourteen words, the pen walks the dragon and snake, the pen is through the paper, and it is vigorous and powerful.

Both of them have been immersed in calligraphy for many years, and they know that the words are not extraordinary.
