On the afternoon of the third day, someone from the palace called Qian Jin to Renshou Palace.

Qian Jin muttered in his heart: Could it be that the letter was seen by the Queen Mother? You must know that when he wrote the letter, he deliberately wrote it in block letters, even if the Queen Mother doubted it, she couldn't tell the reason by the handwriting alone.

The trouble is that the trouble is that Sward's calligraphy is rotten. As early as when he was in Guanhai City, Qian Jin once taught him hand-in-hand. However, he was used to writing with a quill pen, and after practicing for more than half a year, he still wrote crookedly, and then gave up decisively.

However, Qian Jin had already thought of this. If the Queen Mother asked, or wanted to verify the handwriting, Shi Huade could have excused himself by saying that the letter had been written for two taels of silver. However, after all, Shi Huade is a stranger, and the Queen Mother should not be too embarrassed, and she should look at the Buddha face if she doesn't look at the monk's face.

Seeing that Renshou Palace was about to arrive, Qian Jin shook his head vigorously and left these messy worries behind.

Not far away, Hong Gongcheng stood at the door of Renshou Palace and looked this way, and when he saw Qian Jin, he immediately put on a smiling face and greeted him: "Thousands of households let the miscellaneous family wait for a good meal." Let's go faster, the Queen Mother can't wait. ”

Qian Jin deliberately slowed down his pace, and there was a sense of sluggishness when he walked, and he arched his hand slightly, and asked, "Gonggong Hong, is the Queen Mother still in a good mood today?" ”

"Don't ask so much, the Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time." Gonggong Hong urged on the side.

Qian Jin nodded and followed Gonggong Hong into the front hall of Renshou Palace. The Queen Mother, Xu Shoufu, Mei Saijiu, Guo Daxue, Shi Huade, and Huang Wentao, the secretary of Honglu Temple, are all there.

Qian Jin hurriedly met with Scholar Guo a few times, but he didn't speak. Today is the official acquaintance. I saw him in his early forties, wearing a red official robe, tall, fair-skinned, with a long beard, and a pair of fish bubble eyes, as if he hadn't slept well for many years.

There was also a stranger Qian Jin who had never seen before, this person was wearing a black knee-length robe, a high hat, a big beard, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he should be in his early forties.

Qian Jin bowed to the Queen Mother, and then bowed to each of the officials present, and said: "Queen Mother Wan'an, I don't know what to tell when I summon Weichen?" ”

The Queen Mother raised her hand and took out a piece of paper from the coffee table next to her, and said with a smile: "I heard that when you took the palace test, you wrote a hand of wolf Hao Xiaokai, and the old Shoufu praised it a lot, how about you take a look at this handwriting?" ”

Father-in-law Hong took a plate and brought the piece of paper. Qian Jin recognized at a glance that it was the letter he had written for Shi Huade three days earlier.

He forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, picked up the letter and pretended to look at it. After a while, he put the letter back on the plate, and glanced at Xu Shoufu and Shi Huade, who were sitting at the head of the Queen Mother drinking tea at this time, and the implication was already obvious: You made it yourself, or you ended it yourself.

Qian Jin settled down and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, this person's calligraphy is smooth and mellow, and he is afraid that he will not be able to practice it without decades of skills, and he is ashamed of himself." Rao is Qian Jin is a human being in two lives, and he almost laughed out loud. Isn't this the princess selling melons and boasting?

Looking at Xu Baolu again, he was tightening his lips at this time, as if he was about to burst into laughter the next moment. Sward, on the other hand, kept his face straight and fixed his eyes on the gold brick floor on the ground.

"You know the goods. Although you are the champion of today's science, you can't rest on your laurels, so as not to let strangers compare with each other and spread the word that I have no one in Dachen. After a pause, the Queen Mother raised her hand and pointed to the bearded stranger at the first place, and said, "This missionary gentleman's name is Dou Mali, a native of Taixi. ”

Qian Jin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said "long admiration". The bearded uncle known as Dou Mali also got up and took off his hat, and then regardless of whether Qian Jin was happy or not, he opened his arms and gave Qian Jin a bear hug, almost not letting Qian Jin go away.

After a few polite words, the Queen Mother motioned for Qian Jin to sit down, and then said: "This time strangers come to my Chen Kingdom to worship, you must not be lazy, all the expenses are handled by Honglu Temple." ”

"Yes." Huang Wentao got up to receive the order.

Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother ordered: "The drinking party proposed by Xu Shoufu will be held in the Prudent Palace. Plum Festival wine, Scholar Guo, when the time comes, the two of you will select some talents from the Guozijian and the Hanlin Academy to attend. When the time comes, the mourning family and His Majesty will also be present. ”

Mei Ruoting and Guo Guangming hurriedly got up to receive the order.

At this moment, Qian Jin wanted to give Xu Baolu a thumbs up. I don't know what rhetoric he used, but the Queen Mother actually agreed to hold a drinking party so readily.

Just when Qian Jin thought that there was nothing wrong with him, the Queen Mother stared at Qian Jin for a while and said, "Qian Shi said, it's been more than 20 days, and your staff injuries are all healed?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the trauma has been cured, but the muscles and bones are still a little painful."

"That's right, you don't have to go to court during this time, accompany the two missionary gentlemen, Dou Mali and Shi Huade, to go around the capital."

"Uh...... Be. ”

After this incident, the Queen Mother stopped talking. Xu Baolu and the others hurriedly led Shi Huade and Dou Mali to salute and leave.

After leaving Renshou Palace, Xu Baolu deliberately slowed down. Qian Jin understood and hurriedly took a few steps to follow. After the two of them distanced themselves from several other officials, Qian Jin asked, "Xu Shibo, the Queen Mother is quite straightforward this time." ”

"What's wrong? It's not the first time that strangers have come to Chen to worship. After a pause, Xu Baolu said in a cold voice: "Don't do this kind of bullying in the future, if you let the Queen Mother know that you deceived her, how many heads do you have enough to cut off?" ”

"Yes, the juniors will not dare next time."

"Hmm. This time to communicate with the stranger, you have more snacks. If you can give Da Chen some face, the Queen Mother will be happy, and maybe it will be possible to promote you to an official. ”

Qian Jin smiled slightly and said, "Please rest assured about this." If the younger generation can't let Mr. Dou Mali gain some knowledge, I will go to get the twenty boards myself. ”

Xu Baolu nodded. When he was about to leave the Chengtian Gate, he went to the director of Wenyuan Pavilion alone. Qian Jin walked out of Chengtianmen alone. As a result, he hadn't gone far when he saw Scholar Guo waiting in front of him. He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to come forward and pay a visit.

Guo Guangming saw Qian salute, snorted coldly, and said, "You still remember me, the master of the academy." Since you became an official in the court, you haven't even stepped through the door of the Hanlin Academy, right? ”

"Scholar Guo, the younger generation wanted to visit me in the morning, but the Queen Mother rewarded me with twenty boards, but this is not a good idea now......"

Guo Guangming frowned slightly when he heard this, and he didn't wait for Qian Jin to finish speaking before interrupting him: "You don't care about that editor's position, I'm not uncommon, others are rushing to beg me." However, my Dachen has always been "non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet." It's up to you. ”

"The courtyard is serious. The kid wasn't disrespectful, he just fainted at the sea of books. Qian Jin explained with a smile.

Guo Zhangyuan glanced at Qian Jin with disdain, and sneered: "You are still from the top rank...... That's it, let's not talk about this. He paused, and said, "I heard that you have dealt with Inhumans. I ask you, if you were to have an argument with Mr. Dou Marie, how sure would you win? ”

Qian Jin thought for a while and replied: "The ruler is long, and the inch is short." The younger generation didn't dare to say that they would definitely win, but they could do it if they were impressed by me. ”

"What do you have to rely on?" Guo Zhangyuan said strangely.

"Let's let the younger generation sell it." Qian Jin replied with a smile.
