At lunchtime, Zuo Fengchen Weili was lively, and Cheng Boxian paid a lot of money to invite hundreds of people from the Quanwei Mansion to add food, and more than 1,000 catties of mutton were used, which was definitely a huge expense. Although Zuo Fengchen's food treatment has always been good, mutton can be regarded as a high-end ingredient in the palace, and it is still difficult for low-level officers and ordinary pawns in the Wei Mansion to eat. Therefore, the whole house was full of emotion that Cheng Bo was a man with his words, and at the same time, he was also grateful to Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu for giving them the opportunity to feast like this.

For officers who eat more than six products and thousands of oxen in small stoves, such an additional meal is a bit unmentionable. Li Xiaoyi also stayed in Weifu for lunch today, and specially called Xue Shao and Si Yudao to his side to push the cup and change the lamp together.

As Xue Shao expected, Li Xiantong's "small alliance" seems to be intimate but really has no cohesion. Cheng Boxian and others didn't seem to have any scruples about Li Xiantong's feelings, and chatted with Li Xiaoyi and Xue Shao enthusiastically without taboos.

When people go to tea, the cool wall is pushed by everyone, and they only hear the newcomer laughing but not the old crying, which has always been the case in the officialdom.

can blend into Zuo Fengchenwei, the "family of Yanei" and gain a foothold to possess the Qianniu Imperial Sword, Cheng Boxian and the others will definitely not be stupid, their hearts are bright at this moment - Li Xiaoyi has repeatedly hinted that Xue Shao will be the new master of Zuo Fengchenwei today, and his words are by no means groundless. Then, while the new master has not yet officially ascended to the position, it is better to get closer to the feelings of colleagues than to go to the top with a subordinate posture in the future. Moreover, Xue Shao also took the initiative to throw out an olive branch and invite the four of them to join the Martial Arts Academy, which made it even more unreasonable not to give face.

A thousand cows and two children? …… Compared with Xue Shao, it was all yesterday!

Li Xiantong is like a person who has nothing to do, and he talks and laughs with his colleagues at the table. But the other six products and thousands of cattle are seen in their eyes and realized in their hearts...... Usually Li Xiantong and the four imperial swords are inseparable. As for Xue Shao, there seems to be a little bit of a change of flavor in this Zuo Fengchenwei!

After the meal, Xue Shao called his relatives to call Li Xianyuan from the Taishi Bureau, and then gathered the four imperial swords and Xue Chuyu, and a group of seven people went to Nancao, the military department.

Xue Shao officially reported the list of the six of them and completed the relevant procedures.

The martial arts academy is a big cake, but not many people know about it at the moment. Xue Shao only has a total of six places in his hands, so it must be clarified as soon as possible. In case the news spreads, it is inevitable that someone will come to the door to recommend it, and it will be easy to offend people by favoring one over the other.

Yuan Wanqing grabbed Xue Shaoxu and chattered for a while, asking him to remove Li Xianyuan and add Song Zhiwen in. Where would Xue Shao be willing, so he deduced that since Pei Gong was so disgusted with Song Zhi's question, wouldn't it be clear that I was right with Pei Gong by adding him to it?

Yuan Wanqing said again, and eliminated one of the seventeen military department envoys who had been set before, and replaced them with Song Zhiwen. Xue Shao really couldn't argue with him, so he simply replied with two words - "no"!

Yuan Wanqing was very angry and said that Xue Shao disobeyed the official and did not respect the elder, and Xue Shao took a lot of effort to convince this little old man with a pedantic temperament but no bad intentions. Yuan Wanqing was angry, and said that the Xuanwu Hall could be officially opened in two days, and asked Xue Shao to get ready, so Xue Shao wiped a few handfuls of cold sweat and left the military department with the group.

Walking to a secluded place where there are few people, Cui Hejian, who was born in the famous Cui family of Qinghe and was admitted to the Jinshi, said very disdainfully: "That Song Zhiwen and I are on the same list as Jinshi, but I know his details." Pei Gong was disgusted with him, not surprising at all. ”

"Tell me about it?" Xue Shao remembered that "Song Zhiwen" was a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, and he left a lot of poems for future generations.

Cui Hejian said: "Song Zhiwen's father Song Lingwen is definitely a character, he is rich in words, calligraphy and excellent strength, known as the 'three uniques'. Song Lingwen has three sons who have learned one of their father's strengths, and Song Zhiwen is that the eldest son is good at poetry, but he is also born with a good appearance. But Song Zhiwen is very flattering, treacherous, and ruthless. Among the people who rushed to take the exam that year, there was a student named Liu Xiyi, who was Song Zhiwen's nephew, but he was four or five years older than Song Zhiwen. Liu Xiyi was quite talented, and he was also admitted to the Jinshi at that time. Their uncle and nephew are on the same list, and it is rumored to be a good conversation. But not long after, Liu Xiyi mysteriously disappeared. ”

"What's going on?" The crowd asked.

Cui Hejian sneered and said: "It is said that it is because of the poem 'The flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year'. Originally, this poem was written by Liu Xiyi, and Song Zhiwen liked it quite much, so he asked Liu Xiyi to give him the verse. Liu Xiyi initially agreed and then refused, and I know this matter very clearly. Song Zhiwen was so annoyed that he angrily asked the house slaves to put Liu Xiyi in a sack and beat him to death, and then buried him. Someone reported to the official but because the body could not be found, Song Zhiwen was not convicted. He was so proud of this that he invited someone to drink and celebrate. Pei Gong was the official Shilang who presided over the scientific examination of 'body and words and book judgment' at that time, and when he heard about this, he directly removed Song Zhiwen from the list of conferrers, so Song Zhiwen has not been awarded the minister. ”

"Pei Gong did the right thing. Even if Song Zhiwen is not guilty of murder, but is it worth drinking to celebrate when he is gone? Xue Shaozhi shook his head, "Fortunately, I didn't succumb to Yuan Wanqing just now and promised to accept him!" ”

"Yes, I'm ashamed to be with them!" Cheng Boxian and others said together.

The group chatted while walking, and made an appointment to assemble outside the Xuanwu Gate of Daming Palace in the day after tomorrow, and then go to the Xuanwu Palace. During this period of time in the Martial Arts Academy, it can be regarded as a "tolerance assignment", and the original position can be suspended. Li Xianyuan doesn't have to go to the Taishi Bureau to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, and Xue Shao and these people don't have to go to the palace to be guards.

Back at the Wei Mansion Office, Xue Shao sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's been really busy lately, and the marriage and the matter of the martial arts academy have been pushed together. Zuo Fengchenwei's new official took office, and internal disputes could not be avoided, and his brother and sister-in-law had no time to greet him. Later, I had to go to the palace to ask how Princess Taiping's affairs were going, and I had to talk to her about selling Yu Hongye's goods to the palace. By the way, I also have to appease her little temperament, in case she really gave Yu Linlang to death, it won't be so pleasant.

Thinking back to last night's incident, Xue Shao felt a bizarre fragrance afterwards, and said in his heart that when I caught the snitch Lin'er, I used an evil and rude way to correct her on the spot because she was not by the river, which seemed to be more exciting! …… It seems that I am still too pure, too upright, too kind!

After a break without a cup of tea, when Xue Shao was having fun in his mind, the guard at the door came to report, saying that there was a eunuch in the palace who came to find General Xue, claiming to be Princess Taiping's personal entourage named Zhu Bajie.

Xue Shao thought to himself, it seems that Princess Taiping is more anxious than me to meet, is it because she wants to settle accounts?

Coming to the gate of the Wei Mansion alone, Xue Shao called Zhu Bajie aside and asked, "What is the princess looking for me?" ”

Zhu Bajie said cautiously: "Gongzi forgives my sins, in fact, His Highness didn't send me to find you. It was the little slave who dared to come to Gongzi for help. ”

"Help?"

Zhu Bajie whispered: "Her Royal Highness the princess is in a very bad mood today, she has been bored in the room for a day and has not come out to see anyone, and she refuses to eat. Linlang knelt outside the door of His Royal Highness's room for a long time and still didn't get up, and he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao. If this continues, His Royal Highness will definitely hurt his son's body, so go and persuade him! ”

Xue Shao shook his head helplessly, "Where is Your Highness?" ”

Zhu Bajie whispered, "Originally, His Royal Highness has always lived in the harem of the Ming Dynasty, but in order to facilitate the meeting with the son, he moved to the Dragon Head Palace. ”

Xue Shao immediately laughed when he heard this, when I am stupid, is an outer hall like the Dragon Head Hall a place where an unmarried princess can live, obviously looking forward to me coaxing her and worrying that I will not be able to enter the harem. also let Zhu Bajie lie, it is really a death to save face!

"Let me change my clothes and go to the princess."

"Okay, the little slave is waiting here!"

Xue Shao arrived at the Dragon Head Palace, the atmosphere here was really not so harmonious, and a group of maids and eunuchs of Princess Taiping were standing outside the palace with their heads bowed and holding their breath. The Linlang sisters knelt in front of the door, looking like they had made a big mistake and were waiting to be condemned.

Zhu Bajie tore open his throat and was about to shout to report, but Xue Shao glared at him, "Don't scream, or I'll strangle you!" ”

Zhu Bajie was so frightened that he covered his mouth and didn't dare to scream.

Walking to the door of the dormitory, Xue Shao squatted down in front of Linlang and looked at them with a smile.

The two sisters looked up at Xue Shao together, the one on the left was still affectionate, and the one on the right was full of fear and panic for help.

Xue Shao picked up the face on the left and kissed it, "Don't be afraid, there is me!" ”

The one on the right was taken aback, and his face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck.

"Do you want it too?" Xue Shao chuckled in a low voice.

"Slaves don't dare to ......"

Xue Shao smiled, now I can tell at a glance which of you is the elder sister and who is the younger sister, and I also know what the two of you sisters look different!

Reflexively sticking to the door, Xue Shao stabbed the window paper with his fingers and peeked inside, and saw Princess Taiping lying on the big bed with a leisurely look, kicking her two feet, flipping through a book with her left hand and holding a big pear in her right hand to nibble there, and on the low table next to her were her favorite mustard sauce raw fish shredded fish and Qiongxiang honeydew.

Xue Shao was immediately happy, and he was also called a hunger strike-pretend, I see you pretending!

"Your Highness, Minister Xue Shao asks to see you!"

Xue Shao deliberately sang the promise loudly, and then looked through the paper hole, and saw Princess Taiping getting up and hurriedly hiding all the things she was eating, and the books were stuffed under the couch, and then she broke her hair and lay down on the couch and pulled the quilt to cover it, and said angrily: "I don't see!" ”

Xue Shao couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness, have you had a lot of money lately?" ”

"If you don't want money, you need to die!"

Xue Shaoha smiled, "His Royal Highness has been very tight recently, so he specially offered a piece of wealth. ”

"Don't laugh!" Princess Taiping said angrily, "I know that the palace is short of money, so why don't you give it quickly?!" ”
