Sima Chengzhen is not the kind of serious Taoist master, in addition to talking about Taoism, more often he shows people with game dust. Therefore, the joke of Shangqingguan in the palace, with the intention of Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian, spread throughout Luoyang City. Just as I thought that Du Shiyi rejected the lord on the grounds of hitting Kegui's wife, and then the dignitaries did not dare to allow her to be a daughter, now Sima Chengzhen said that he wanted to compensate for Du Shiyi's loneliness over the years, and planned to choose a suitable girl for him, and he didn't know how many hearts he had touched for a while.

"Du Jiulang is now forty-four in his twenties, but he has already served in the palace in his early twenties, which is simply an outlier."

"I don't know which girl Sect Master Sima has taken a fancy to? If this is true, he quietly wanders around the people......

"It would be nice if I picked my daughter"

Such a discussion spread all over Luoyang City, so much so that when Du Shiyi visited Princess Yuzhen at the Anguo Female Taoist Temple, she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The momentum of the two masters is really breathtaking, even the Du clan, many of them have quietly asked me if there is really something wrong, not to mention in the Yushitai, all my colleagues look at me with strange eyes."

"I want to hug the beautiful woman, and I don't want to be talked about, how can there be such a haode thing?" Princess Yuzhen smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a slit, and it wasn't until Du Shiyi smiled bitterly and pleaded that she said with a smile, "Don't worry, this is what my sister and I have discussed a long time ago, and we will be in control." As for Sect Master Sima, are you still worried that he will joke with you on such a big matter? It's you, I haven't settled accounts with you yet."

Princess Yuzhen suddenly crossed her hands on her hips, revealing a look of anger: "You have limped Yuyao away for three years, and it takes three or two months before the news comes back, do you know how worried your sister is?" ”

Faced with such a reproach, Du Shiyi had to raise his hand and surrender. He explained that he was afraid that the letters would be too frequent, and after being seen by others, Princess Yuzhen was still angry, but after all, she only snorted lightly. When Du Shiyi asked how this marriage would be arranged, she said proudly: "Don't worry, naturally you won't let Sect Master Sima gently and skillfully tell others that Wang Yuanbao's daughter is a good match, otherwise how can Brother Elder be so easily fooled?" Yuyao is also a good blessing, you have a good eye for pearls, so that she can show her talents, if you can get married in the future, then the pearls will be together, I really don't know how many people to envy. ”

"That's also the two contemplator Yucheng." After Du Shiyi smiled, thinking of what Wang Jin had entrusted before, he pondered for a moment and then said, "Today is the day when the Caoze Bootstrap Examination will begin, and the Lord knows that Wang Shisanlang's younger brother Xia Qing also has the exam in Jinke. ”

"It's Jiuniang's Ruyi Langjun, I've seen him. When Jiu Niang brought people to me, her face was full of joy, and I heard that she was now pregnant with Liujia. ”

Princess Yuzhen remembered the time she saw Wang Jin and Cui Jiuniang standing side by side in front of her, and her expression couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she smiled slightly: "After many years, you don't have to worry about what I can't figure out." Wang Shishilang is also famous in Beijing, you specifically mentioned this matter, could it be that he still has any problems in this subject? ”

"With Xia Qing's ability, there should be no problem in standing out, but there are many candidates for the exam, incumbent officials and even Pinzizhu Guozi, if there is any bias when marking the papers, it will be difficult to guarantee." Speaking of this, Du Shiyi paused, but said casually, "For example, when I was supposed to take the provincial exam, Li Na, the examiner, almost put me at the bottom because of someone else's entrustment?" ”

Princess Yuzhen didn't care, but when she heard Du Shiyi say this, she couldn't help but groan thoughtfully. After a while, she smiled and said, "If it's a special department, it's just a department, and this department is a grass department." Brother A's original intention was to fear that Cao Ze would lose his talents, so he opened this department, and now it is Captain Ki and other officials who are competing with him, and when the time comes, I will order someone to mention it by my brother's side. Wang Shishilang, but the strategy is really the best choice, and it will definitely be able to put it high. But you, don't worry about others, you might as well think about how to handle your own marriage, and in addition, I also have one thing to ask you. ”

When Du Shiyi came out of the Anguo Female Taoist Temple, Princess Yuzhen's proposal was still in her mind. In fact, after three years out of Beijing, the kind of comfortable and happy days when the sky is high and the emperor is far away, compared with intrigue with people in Liangjing, he is naturally more inclined to the latter. However, if he really wanted to go wherever he wanted to be a foreign official, he didn't have to worry so much about it when he asked for the county magistrate the last time.

Except for the first night when he first arrived in Luoyang, because the night banquet in Cui's house lasted too late, he stayed there, but in the past few days, Du Shiyi lived in the private house he rented and bought in Guandefang. For the close proximity of the Son of Heaven like the palace servant Yushi, the day by day, the closer to Luoyang Palace the better. And his leave is only left today for a day, on the way back at this moment, remembering that he had not met Guo Quan in Yushi Taizhong before, he couldn't help but have some memories in his heart, and when he got off the horse at the door of his own Du house, he didn't forget to ask, but the person he wanted to find was not heard, and the person he didn't want to find came uninvited.

"Lang Jun, Guo Yushi hasn't been here, but Uncle Lang Jun's house in Le Chengfang has someone to send a post, please Lang Jun come over for a while."

Du Sanniang didn't mention it, and he almost forgot that there was such an uncle in Luoyang

Du Shiyi was a little bored in her heart, but even if Du Fu was not the eldest of the cohabitants, he could occupy the name of an uncle, and he could not completely ignore it after all. Therefore, after lunch, he randomly picked out a few local products brought back from Jiangnan, and only took one servant out of the door. Du Fu's private house in Lechengfang, he visited it for the first time, but fortunately, there was a Wuhou in the workshop who led the way, so he successfully found it. Luoyang is the same as Chang'an, the price is expensive, the house price is higher, Du Fu is not a high-grade official, the house looks inconspicuous, and the servant in front of the door naturally has no clean atmosphere, only an old servant leaning on the door and dozing.

It wasn't until Chibi raised his voice and shouted for the third time that the man opened his eyes. Although the old servant had some ears, he knew Du Shiyi, so he hurriedly pulled his legs and went inside to report, and after a while, he greeted him with a vigorous pace that was completely incommensurate with his age and ear strength, and respectfully led Du Shiyi in. Before Du Shisanniang came, most of Du Fu avoided it, and only met by Wei, but today Du Shiyi came to the door, he couldn't be as hypocritical as before, and he actually picked up people at Yimen in person.

"I haven't seen you for seven years, and Nineteen Lang is already in charge." Relying on his uncle's identity, Du Fu could naturally say something condescending, but he didn't dare to blindly put on a show, and then gently and skillfully turned the topic to another aspect, "Now that the personnel of the Yushitai are changeable, you should be careful when you return to Beijing at the first time." Li Chaoyin is this person, whenever there is a shortage of Imperial Doctors, everyone is interested in him, but the Sacred Heart has been unlucky before, and there has been no chance for him to take the position, this time he just let him replace Cui Yinfu, he will inevitably take people as targets......"

These words analyzing the situation in the court are plausible, and Du Shiyi knows that Du Fu is not willing to do so now, so he is idle and bored to analyze blindly. But he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, he had to be vague and perfunctory, and when he went to see Wei Shi with Du Fu again, he sat down in the dormitory, and saw that the drink sent by the maid was a cup of tea, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his eyebrows slightly.

I even know his preferences.

As a housewife, Wei Shi looked at Du Shiyi, and saw that he was taller than before, handsome, and wore an ordinary white shirt on his body, but he looked completely different from those ordinary white shirt scholars, which obviously showed that he had developed a bearing after entering the office. Thinking that her biological son Du Wangzhi was still a stubborn child, her eldest son Du Anzhi was under the guidance of Du Shiyi, and her husband Du Fu was a candidate in Beijing, she only felt that the jealousy in her heart was burning more and more, and she didn't notice what Du Fu and Du Shiyi's uncle and nephew were saying, and suddenly turned her heart sideways and burst out of a sentence.

"Nineteen Lang, I heard that Sima Zong is mainly for you to solve the situation? I have a niece in my mother's family, who is at a young age......

Before she finished speaking, Du Fu couldn't help but scolded: "What nonsense, anyone dares to take it out to match, you can't be confused."

"Why am I confused? Nineteen Lang said that he was destined to be a noble girl, and he dragged it until now, and now taking advantage of the east wind of Sect Master Sima, if the marriage is not finalized as soon as possible, will it continue to be delayed? What's wrong with my niece, although there is no prominent descendant in the family, but after all, she is also Jingzhao Webster, and it is not that kind of daughter, is it difficult for me to be an aunt to protect my nephew, and she is not treated well? ”

Seeing that Wei Shi was already frowning as he spoke, as if he was becoming more and more reasonable, Du Shiyi, who had no intention of staying longer, couldn't help but lose his appetite even more, he coughed heavily, but stood up and said, "Uncle, I still have some things to go to Jinglong Female Taoist Temple, so I'll leave." ”

Du Fu invited Du Shiyi today, originally planning to use the news he had just gotten closer to him, but he didn't want Wei Shi to be so ignorant, and his words were so stunned that he was about to say goodbye as soon as he sat down, and his face suddenly turned blue and white. But Wei didn't know what to do, and when he saw Du Shiyi arching his hand and was about to go out, he even stretched out his hand and slapped the couch hard, and said angrily: "Nineteen Lang is now a big official, and his wings are hard, don't you take me as an elder in your eyes?" If you don't agree, you're leaving, who are you looking at? ”

"Enough" Du Fu finally couldn't bear his wife's stupid words anymore, and after opening his mouth to shout angrily, he even instructed the maids on the left and right, "Help the lady to go inside to rest, think nonsense all day long, go back to find a doctor to see how old you are, but you don't know how to teach well, and now it is Yue Qian who is in charge of the affairs of Nineteen Lang, come to my study, I have something to say to you." ”

Du Shiyi was originally not interested in Du Fu's invitation, but she didn't want Du Fu to be angry and drink his wife's words, but she dragged him out a little strongly, and only then did she whisper outside the door: "The two noble lords sent me a letter, saying that there is Sect Master Sima in charge, and your marriage will be in the near future."
