Wang Anshi bowed his head and said: "Not only that, Fu Bi, who just came back from Hedong Road, also admires Cui Wenqing very much, and once wanted Cui Wenqing to go to the household department to serve, but I didn't expect Cui Wenqing to resign." ”

Su Shi frowned and said: "Since Cui Wenqing participated in the imperial examination, I believe it is also to gain some fame, why he should refuse the kindness of Fu Shangshu, it is really incomprehensible." ”

Wang Anshi said with a smile: "Zizhan doesn't know, Cui Wenqing is the husband of Zhe Zhao, the governor of Zhenwu Army, with the strength of Zhe Zhao's official position, Cui Wenqing can't look down on the end of the official position of the household department, and it is natural to think about it." ”

"What? He is actually the husband of Zhezhao? As soon as he heard the name Zhezhao, Su Shi suddenly showed a grinning expression, and he secretly retreated in his heart, not wanting to meet this female demon at all.

Wang Anshi said: "The old man thinks that you and Zhe Zhao are classmates, and they are also very familiar with it, so he sent you to Fuzhou, this matter should be sooner rather than later, so you can pack up and set off tomorrow." ”

Su Shi had no choice but to bow his head and say in a muffled voice: "Since it is an order from the prime minister, then the lower officials will go from now on." ”

Wang Anshi nodded, and told him almost, and suddenly said solemnly: "Remember, this time you can't let Cui Wenqing and Zhi Zhao know that you are the old man's secret agent, and then you will tell Zhi Zhao that you came to Fuzhou to visit her, and by the way, you are learning about the situation on the frontier." ”

"Going to visit that witch? Ahh Su Shi secretly scolded in his heart, but said with a straight face: "Don't worry, the lower officials can save it, so go back and prepare." ”

Wang Anshi bowed slightly, watching him go out.

In the afternoon, the rain in Luoyang City gradually subsided, and the originally black and oppressive sky was slightly white.

Guozi listened to the wind in the small building, the noble and beautiful Chen Bachelor was standing in the water pavilion in a daze, although the beautiful eyes fell on the pool, but he was not attracted by the group of fish and only a frog, his eyes were motionless and obviously stunned.

At this moment, a person came in the rain with an oil-paper umbrella, walked to the water pavilion and said hello: "Student Sima Tang, I have seen the teacher." ”

The person who came was less than twenty, dignified and dignified, and had a calm bearing, it was Sima Tang, who was the champion of the new department last year and was currently serving as the school secretary in Lantai, and the bachelor Chen in front of him was his teacher.

Bachelor Chen came back to his senses, turned to look at her best student, and said with a smile: "It's a bit presumptuous and rude to disturb Zhuangyuanlang's official business for the teacher. ”

Sima Tang Zhengrong arched his hand and said: "The teacher is polite, I don't know what kind of dispatch the teacher sent when he called the students to come?" ”

Bachelor Chen didn't say much to greet, and said bluntly: "I want you to go to Fuzhou and help me investigate a person named Cui Wenqing, see how he is knowledgeable, if everything is okay, you can give him this letter." After finishing speaking, he picked up a sealed letter and handed it to Sima Tang.

Sima Tang didn't take the letter with his hands, but fell into a stupor, muttering to himself: "Fuzhou? My teacher wants me to see Ah Zhao? ”

Doesn't Master Chen understand what Sima Tang is thinking, sighs slightly, and says: "Sima Tang, you and Ah Zhao have always been fated to have no part, and now that she has also become married, why should you be obsessed?" The reason why the teacher asked you to go to Fuzhou this time is to get to know Cui Wenqing for the teacher, and secondly, because of the emotion in your heart, I don't know what you think? ”

Without half a minute of hesitation, Sima Tang had already taken the letter from Bachelor Chen's hand, and said with a heavy bow: "Don't worry, the student can save it, and he will definitely live up to the teacher's trust, by the way, the student heard that Cui Wenqing is Ah Zhao's husband?" ”

Bachelor Chen nodded: "Yes, in fact, the teacher is also very puzzled by Ah Zhao's reckless decision, I don't know why she let the royal family of the Manchu Dynasty not choose, but chose a talent who fell into the ground, which is really incomprehensible." ”

Sima Tang said with a cold face: "What the teacher doesn't understand is also what the students can't understand, so well, the students can also take this opportunity to figure out what Ah Zhao thinks in his heart, but this matter is on his mind." ”

When Bachelor Chen heard that Sima Tang's thoughts were all on Zhe Zhao, he couldn't help but be secretly worried, for fear that he would mislead the matter, and after a little thought, he said again: "It is inconvenient for you to go on the road alone, so I don't know what you think about letting Assistant Teacher Xie accompany you as a teacher?" ”

Sima Tang arched his hand and said: "Since it is arranged by the teacher, the students should obey the order, I don't know how long it will take to set off?" ”

"Naturally, the sooner the better." Bachelor Chen said a word, and then advised, "Cui Wenqing has a lot to do with the teacher, you must remember to understand this person's talent and character in detail, if you think it is good, you will write to him for the teacher, and the excuse for you to go to Fuzhou is that you are going to visit A Zhao, and by the way, you can understand the situation in the frontier, can you know?" ”

"Students understand." Sima Tang nodded, "If the teacher has nothing else to do, please allow the student to go home and prepare his luggage." ”

"Okay, let's go." Mr. Chan agreed.

Sima Tang saluted to Master Chen, and even forgot to take the oil-paper umbrella, so he stepped into the sparse drizzle.

After leaving Tingfeng Xiaozhu, Sima Tang did not rush to leave Guozijian, but walked along the walking path into a pine forest.

He stood in the middle of the forest and looked around, as if he had returned to the summer twilight five years ago when he first saw the light.

At that time, he was only fourteen years old, and he only studied hard every day, and did not listen to what was happening outside the window.

On that day, he offended several powerful children, and they dragged him into this pine forest to beat him.

The fathers of those powerful children were all Sima Guang's political enemies, so they naturally showed no mercy to him, and after a while, Sima Tang Zhou was already scarred from top to bottom.

Just when he felt dazed and helpless, a woman who was only twelve or thirteen years old had no intention of passing by, and when she saw this scene, she naturally drew a knife to help, and defeated those powerful children with three punches and two legs, and rescued him from the pine forest.

Sima Tang was grateful, and when he asked, he learned that the woman's name was Zhe Zhao, and she was a female student studying in Guozi Prison.

After this incident, a smile would always appear in his dreams intentionally or unintentionally, and Sima Tang also felt that he had fallen into an obsession with the goddess of Wushan.

When Zhi Zhao left Guozijian and returned to Fuzhou, Sima Tang boldly confided his love, but it was a pity that King Xiang had a heart, and the goddess had no intention, but Zhi Zhao said that he had always regarded him as a brother.

Sima Tang, who was rejected, was devoured by thunder, and during that time, the whole person was in a trance, and his heart was even more colic, but he felt that it was because he was not worthy of the noble status of the governor of the Zhenwu Army, so he worked hard to study.
